# Registering and managing domains using Amazon Route 53 When you want to get a new domain name, such as the **example.com** part of the URL http://example.com, you can register it with Amazon Route 53. You can also transfer the registration for existing domains from other registrars to Route 53 or transfer the registration for domains that you register with Route 53 to another registrar. The procedures in this chapter explain how to register and transfer domains using the Route 53 console, and how to edit domain settings and view domain status. If you're only registering and managing a few domains, using the console is the easiest way. If you need to register and manage a lot of domains, you might prefer to make changes programmatically. For more information, see [Set up Amazon Route 53](setting-up-route-53.md). **Note** If you are using a language for which an AWS SDK exists, use the SDK rather than trying to work your way through the APIs. The SDKs make authentication simpler, integrate easily with your development environment, and provide easy access to Route 53 commands. Domain name registration services are provided under our [Domain Name Registration Agreement](https://aws.amazon.com/route53/domain-registration-agreement/). **Topics** + [ # Registering new domains ](domain-register-update.md) + [ # Updating domain settings ](domain-update-settings.md) + [ # Renewing registration for a domain ](domain-renew.md) + [ # Restoring an expired or deleted domain ](domain-restore-expired.md) + [ # Replacing the hosted zone for a domain that is registered with Route 53 ](domain-replace-hosted-zone.md) + [ # Transferring domains ](domain-transfer.md) + [ # Resending authorization and confirmation emails ](domain-click-email-link.md) + [ # Configuring DNSSEC for a domain ](domain-configure-dnssec.md) + [ # Finding your registrar and other information about your domain ](find-your-registrar.md) + [ # Deleting a domain name registration ](domain-delete.md) + [ # Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues ](domain-contact-support.md) + [ # Downloading a domain billing report ](domain-billing-report.md) + [ # Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53 ](registrar-tld-list.md) # Registering new domains This section covers the following topics related to registering new domains with Amazon Route 53: 1.

Depending on your DNS provider, choose one of the following procedures to register and use a new domain with Route 53: + For registering a new domain, see [To register a new domain using Route 53](#domain-register-procedure-section). + For an existing domain, see [Making Amazon Route 53 the DNS service for an existing domainMaking Route 53 the DNS service for an existing domain](MigratingDNS.md). + For moving a domain to another registrar, see [update name servers when you want to use another DNS service](domain-register-other-dns-service.md). **Considerations for domain registration** Before you start, note the following: **Contacting AWS Support** If you encounter issues while registering a domain, you can contact AWS Support for free. For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). **Domain registration pricing** For information about the cost to register domains, see [Amazon Route 53 Pricing for Domain Registration](https://d32ze2gidvkk54.cloudfront.net/Amazon_Route_53_Domain_Registration_Pricing_20140731.pdf). **Supported domains** For a list of supported TLDs, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). **You can't change a domain name after you register it** If you accidentally register the wrong domain name, you can't change it. Instead, you need to register another domain name and specify the correct name. You also can't get a refund for a domain name that you registered accidentally. **AWS credits** You can't use AWS credits to pay the fee for registering a new domain with Route 53. **Special or premium prices** TLD registries have assigned special or premium prices to some domain names. You can't use Route 53 to register a domain that has a special or premium price. **Charges for hosted zones** When you register a domain with Route 53, we automatically create a hosted zone for the domain and charge a small monthly fee for the hosted zone in addition to the annual charge for the domain registration. This hosted zone is where you store information about how to route traffic for your domain, for example, to an Amazon EC2 instance or a CloudFront distribution. If you don't want to use your domain right now, you can delete the hosted zone; if you delete it within 12 hours of registering the domain, there won't be any charge for the hosted zone on your AWS bill. We also charge a small fee for the DNS queries that we receive for your domain. For more information, see [Amazon Route 53 Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/route53/pricing/). **Replacing the hosted zone for a domain** If you create a new hosted zone for a domain, you must also update the name servers for the domain to use the same name servers as the new hosted zone. For details see, [Replacing the hosted zone for a domain that is registered with Route 53](domain-replace-hosted-zone.md) ## To register a new domain using Route 53 **To register a new domain using Route 53** 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Domains** and then **Registered domains**. 1. On the **Registered domains** page, choose **Register domains**. 1. In the **Search for domain** section, enter the domain name that you want to register, and choose **Search** to find out whether the domain name is available. If the domain name that you want to register contains characters other than a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and - (hyphen), note the following: + You can enter the name using the applicable characters. You don't need to convert the name to Punycode. + A list of languages appears. Choose the language of the specified name. For example, if you enter příklad ("example" in Czech), choose Czech (CES) or Czech (CZE). **Note** For languages that have more than one code, you might need to try both of them. Even though CES and CZE are synonymous, some TLD registries support only one or the other. For information about how to specify characters other than a-z, 0-9, and - (hyphen) and how to specify internationalized domain names, see [DNS domain name format](DomainNameFormat.md). If the domain you entered is available, it will be displayed, if not, similar domains will be displayed as suggestions. You can choose up to five domains to register. The domains you select appear in the **Selected domains** list. 1. To register more domains, repeat steps 3a through 3b. 1. Choose **Proceed to checkout**. 1. On the **Pricing** page, choose the number of years that you want to register the domain for and whether you want us to automatically renew your domain registration before the expiration date. **Note** Domain name registrations and renewals are not refundable. If you enable automatic domain renewal and you decide that you don't want the domain name after we renew the registration, you can't get a refund for the cost of the renewal. Choose **Next**. 1. On the **Contact information** page, enter contact information for the domain registrant, admin, tech, and billing contacts. The values that you enter here are applied to all of the domains that you're registering. For more information, see [Values that you specify when you register or transfer a domain](domain-register-values-specify.md). **Important** The contact you list as the registrant during domain registration will have certain rights as the Registered Name Holder of the domain name, under the [ICANN Transfer Policy](https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/transfer-policy-2016-06-01-en). Most domains will be deleted upon closure of your AWS account (for more information, see [My AWS account is closed or permanently closed, and my domain is registered with Route 53](troubleshooting-account-closed.md)), however if a domain remains in a closed account, the contact you listed as the registrant may have the ability to request a transfer of the domain name to an external registrar. Therefore, it is important that the registrant contact you list is either yourself or another person you trust to act responsibly. Note the following considerations: **First Name and Last Name** For **First Name** and **Last Name**, we recommend that you specify the name on your official ID. For some changes to domain settings, some domain registries require that you provide proof of identity. The name on your ID must match the name of the registrant contact for the domain. **Different contacts** By default, we use the same information for all three contacts. If you want to enter different information for one or more contacts, change the value of **Same as registrant contact** toggle switch to off position. For .it domains, the registrant and administrative contacts must be the same. For .jp domains, the technical and administrative contacts must be the same. **Multiple domains** If you're registering more than one domain, we use the same contact information for all of the domains. **Additional required information** For some top-level domains (TLDs), we're required to collect additional information. For these TLDs, enter the applicable values after the **Postal/Zip Code** field. **Privacy protection** Choose whether you want to hide your contact information from WHOIS queries. You must specify the same privacy setting for the administrative, registrant, technical, and billing contacts. For more information, see the following topics: + [Enabling or disabling privacy protection for contact information for a domain](domain-privacy-protection.md) + [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md) To enable privacy protection for .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, and .org.uk domains, you must open a support case and request privacy protection. Choose **Next**. 1. On the **Review** page, review the information that you entered, and optionally correct it, read the terms of service, and select the check box to confirm that you've read the terms of service. Choose **Submit**. 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Domains** and then **Requests**. On this page you can view the status of domain and also if you need to respond to registrant contact verification email. You can also choose to resend the verification email. If you specified an email address for the registrant contact that has never been used to register a domain with Route 53, some TLD registries require you to verify that the address is valid. We send a verification email from one of the following email addresses: + **noreply@registrar.amazon** – for TLDs registered by Amazon Registrar. + **noreply@domainnameverification.net** or **noreply@emailverification.info** – for TLDs registered by our registrar associate, Gandi. To determine who the registrar is for your TLD, see [Finding your registrar](find-your-registrar.md). **Important** The registrant contact must follow the instructions in the email to verify that the email was received, or we must suspend the domain as required by ICANN. When a domain is suspended, it's not accessible on the internet. 1. When you receive the verification email, choose the link in the email that verifies that the email address is valid. If you don't receive the email immediately, check your junk email folder. 1. Return to the **Requests** page. If the status doesn't automatically update to say **email-address is verified**, refresh the browser. 1. When domain registration is complete, your next step depends on whether you want to use Route 53 or another DNS service as the DNS service for the domain: + **Route 53** – In the hosted zone that Route 53 created when you registered the domain, create records to tell Route 53 how you want to route traffic for the domain and subdomains. For example, when someone enters your domain name in a browser and that query is forwarded to Route 53, do you want Route 53 to respond to the query with the IP address of a web server in your data center or with the name of an ELB load balancer? For more information, see [Working with records](rrsets-working-with.md). **Important** If you create records in a hosted zone other than the one that Route 53 creates automatically, you must update the name servers for the domain to use the name servers for the new hosted zone. + **Another DNS service** – Configure your new domain to route DNS queries to the other DNS service. Perform the procedure [Updating name servers to use another registrar](domain-register-other-dns-service.md). # Values that you specify when you register or transfer a domain **Note** We've updated the domains console for Route 53. During the transition period, you can continue to use the old console, or use the new console. Most of the information returned by Route 53 is the same for both consoles. The differences are noted in the following list. When you register a domain or transfer domain registration to Amazon Route 53, you specify the values that are described in this topic. **Note** If you're registering more than one domain, Route 53 uses the values that you specify for all of the domains that are in your shopping cart. You can also change values for a domain that is currently registered with Route 53. Note the following: + If you change contact information for the domain, we send an email notification to the registrant contact about the change. This email comes from noreply@registrar.amazon. For most changes, the registrant contact is not required to respond. + For changes to contact information that also constitutes a change in ownership, we send the registrant contact an additional email. ICANN requires that the registrant contact confirms receiving the email. For more information, see **First Name, Last Name** and **Organization** later in this section. For more information about changing settings for an existing domain, see [Updating domain settings](domain-update-settings.md). **Values that you specify** + [My Registrant, Administrative, and Technical contacts are all the same](#same-contacts-field) + [Contact Type](#contact-type-field) + [First Name, Last Name](#first-last-field) + [Organization](#organization-field) + [Email](#email-field) + [Phone](#phone-field) + [Address 1](#address-1-field) + [Address 2](#address-2-field) + [Country](#country-field) + [State](#state-field) + [City](#city-field) + [Postal/Zip Code](#postal-code-field) + [Fields for selected top-level domains](#tld-fields) + [Privacy Protection](#privacy-field) + [Auto-renew](#auto-renew-field) **Same as the registrant contact** Specifies whether you want to use the same contact information for the registrant of the domain, the administrative contact, and the technical contact. **Contact Type** Category for this contact. Note the following: + If you choose an option other than **Person**, you must enter an organization name. + For some TLDs, the privacy protection available depends on the value that you choose for **Contact Type**. For the privacy protection settings for your TLD, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). + For .es domains, the value of **Contact Type** must be **Person** for all three contacts. **First Name, Last Name** The first and last names of the contact. For **First Name** and **Last Name**, we recommend that you specify the name on your official ID. For some changes to domain settings, you must provide proof of identity, and the name on your ID must match the name of the registrant contact for the domain. If you're transferring a domain to Route 53 and the following are true, then you're changing the owner of the domain: + The contact type is **Person**. + You're changing the **First Name** and/or **Last Name** fields for the registrant contact from the current settings. In that case, ICANN requires that we email the registrant contact to get approval. We send email from one of the following email addresses: **** [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-register-values-specify.html) To determine who the registrar is for your TLD, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). The registrant contact must follow the instructions in the email to confirm that the email was received, or we must suspend the domain as required by ICANN. When a domain is suspended, it's not accessible on the internet. If you change the email address of the registrant contact, this email is sent to the former email address and the new email address for the registrant contact. Some TLD registrars charge a fee for changing the domain owner. When you change one of these values, the Route 53 console displays a message that tells you whether there is a fee. **Organization** The organization that is associated with the contact, if any. For the registrant and administrative contacts, this is typically the organization that is registering the domain. For the technical contact, this might be the organization that manages the domain. When the contact type is any value except **Person** and you change the **Organization** field for the registrant contact, you change the owner of the domain. ICANN requires that we email the registrant contact to get approval. We send email from one of the following email addresses: **** [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-register-values-specify.html) To determine who the registrar is for your TLD, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). If you change the email address of the registrant contact, this email is sent to the former email address and the new email address for the registrant contact. Some TLD registrars charge a fee for changing the domain owner. When you change the value of **Organization**, the Route 53 console displays a message that tells you whether there is a fee. **Email** The email address for the contact. If you change the email address for the registrant contact, we send a notification email to the former email address and the new email address. This email comes from noreply@registrar.amazon. **Phone** The phone number for the contact: + If you're entering a phone number for locations in the United States or Canada, enter **1** in the first field and the 10-digit area code and phone number in the second field. + If you're entering a phone number for any other location, enter the country code in the first field, and enter the rest of the phone number in the second field. For a list of phone country codes, see the Wikipedia article [List of country calling codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_country_calling_codes). **Address 1** The street address for the contact. **Address 2** Additional address information for the contact, for example, apartment number or mail stop. **Country** The country for the contact. **State** The state or province for the contact, if any. **City** The city for the contact. **Postal/Zip Code** The postal or zip code for the contact. **Fields for selected top-level domains** The following top-level domains (TLDs) require that you specify additional values: + .com.au and .net.au + .ca + .es + .fi + .fr + .it + .ru + .se + .sg + .co.uk, .me.uk, .org.uk, and .uk In addition, many TLDs require a VAT identification number. For information about valid values, see [ExtraParam](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/API_domains_ExtraParam.html) in the *Amazon Route 53 API Reference*. **Privacy Protection** Whether you want to conceal your contact information from WHOIS queries. If you select **Turn on privacy protection** (new console) or **Hide contact information** (old console), WHOIS ("who is") queries will return contact information for the registrar or the value "Protected by policy." You must specify the same privacy setting for the administrative, registrant, technical, and billing contacts. If you select **Don't hide contact information**, you'll get more email spam at the email address that you specified. Anyone can send a WHOIS query for a domain and get back all of the contact information for that domain. The WHOIS command is available in many operating systems, and it's also available as a web application on many websites. Although there are legitimate users for the contact information associated with your domain, the most common users are spammers, who target domain contacts with unwanted email and bogus offers. In general, we recommend that you choose **Hide contact information** for **Privacy Protection**. To enable or disable privacy protection for some domains, you must open a support case and request privacy protection. For more information about privacy protection, see the following topics: + [Enabling or disabling privacy protection for contact information for a domain](domain-privacy-protection.md) + [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md) **Auto Renew (Only available when editing domain settings)** Whether you want Route 53 to automatically renew the domain before it expires. The registration fee is charged to your AWS account. On the old console this setting is only available when editing domain settings. For more information, see [Renewing registration for a domain](domain-renew.md). If you disable automatic renewal, registration for the domain will not be renewed when the expiration date passes, and you might lose control of the domain name. The period during which you can renew a domain name varies by top-level domain (TLD). For an overview about renewing domains, see [Renewing registration for a domain](domain-renew.md). For information about extending domain registration for a specified number of years, see [Extending the registration period for a domain](domain-extend.md). # Values that Amazon Route 53 returns when you register a domain When you register your domain with Amazon Route 53, Route 53 returns the following values in addition to the values that you specified. **Registered on** The date on which the domain was originally registered with Route 53. **Expires on** The date and time on which the current registration period expires, in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The registration period is typically one year, although the registries for some top-level domains (TLDs) have longer registration periods. For the registration and renewal period for your TLD, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). For most TLDs, you can extend the registration period by up to ten years. For more information, see [Extending the registration period for a domain](domain-extend.md). **Domain name status code** The current status of the domain. ICANN, the organization that maintains a central database of domain names, has developed a set of domain name status codes (also known as EPP status codes) that tell you the status of a variety of operations on a domain name. For example, registering a domain name, transferring a domain name to another registrar, renewing the registration for a domain name, and so on. All registrars use this same set of status codes. For a current list of domain name status codes and an explanation of what each code means, go to the [ICANN website](https://www.icann.org/) and search for **epp status codes**. (Search on the ICANN website; web searches sometimes return an old version of the document.) **Transfer lock** Whether the domain is locked to reduce the possibility of someone transferring your domain to another registrar without your permission. If the domain is locked, the value of **Transfer Lock** is **On**. If the domain is not locked, the value is **Off**. **Auto renew** Whether Route 53 will automatically renew the registration for this domain shortly before the expiration date. **Authorization code** The code that is required if you want to transfer registration of this domain to another registrar. An authorization code is only generated when you request it. For information about transferring a domain to another registrar, see [Transferring a domain from Amazon Route 53 to another registrar](domain-transfer-from-route-53.md). **Name servers** The Route 53 servers that respond to DNS queries for this domain. We recommend that you don't delete Route 53 name servers. For information about adding, changing, or deleting name servers, see [Adding or changing name servers and glue records for a domain](domain-name-servers-glue-records.md). # Viewing the status of a domain registration ICANN, the organization that maintains a central database of domain names, has developed a set of domain name status codes (also known as EPP status codes) that tell you the status of a variety of operations, for example, registering a domain name, transferring a domain name to another registrar, renewing the registration for a domain name, and so on. All registrars use this same set of status codes. To view the status code for your domains, perform the following procedure. **To view the ICANN status code of a domain** 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, expand **Domains** and choose **Registered Domains**. 1. Select the linked name of your domain. 1. If you need to take an action, such as resending the verification email to the registrant contact, a banner on top of the page will indicate the action you need to take. 1.

For more information, see [Updating contact information for a domain](#domain-update-contacts-basic). For the registrant contact, you can change most values without having to authorize the changes. However, for some TLDs, changing the owner of a domain requires authorization. For more information, see the applicable topic. **Topics** + [ ## What triggers a domain ownership change? ](#domain-update-contacts-who-is-domain-owner) + [ ## TLDs that require special processing to change the owner ](#domain-update-contacts-tlds) + [ ## Updating contact information for a domain ](#domain-update-contacts-basic) + [ ## Changing the owner of a domain when the registry requires a Change of Domain Ownership form ](#domain-update-contacts-domain-ownership-form) ## What triggers a domain ownership change? **Important** The contact you list as the registrant will have certain rights as the Registered Name Holder of the domain name, under the [ICANN Transfer Policy](https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/transfer-policy-2016-06-01-en). Most domains will be deleted upon closure of your AWS account (for more information, see [My AWS account is closed or permanently closed, and my domain is registered with Route 53](troubleshooting-account-closed.md)), however if a domain remains in a closed account, the contact you listed as the registrant may have the ability to request a transfer of the domain name to an external registrar. Therefore, it is important that the registrant contact you list is either yourself or another person you trust to act responsibly. The following changes to registrant contact information trigger the domain ownership change process: **For Person contact type** Changing the **First Name** or **Last Name** fields triggers an ownership change. **For non-Person contact types (Company, Association, Public Body)** Changing the **Organization** field triggers an ownership change. **Additional triggers (all contact types)** Depending on your domain's TLD requirements, other contact field changes might also trigger the ownership change process, including: + Changes to the registrant email address + Changes to other identifying information fields The specific fields that trigger ownership changes vary by TLD and are determined by the domain registry's policies. **Warning** **Service interruption risk:** When an ownership change is triggered, you will receive an authorization email. If you don't respond to this email within 3-15 days (depending on your TLD), your domain registration will be cancelled as required by ICANN, which will interrupt your website and email services. Always ensure you can access the registrant contact email address before making any contact changes. Note the following about changing the owner of a domain: + For some TLDs, there's a fee to change the owner of a domain. To determine whether there's a fee for the TLD for your domain, see the "Change Ownership Price" column in [Amazon Route 53 Pricing for Domain Registration](https://d32ze2gidvkk54.cloudfront.net/Amazon_Route_53_Domain_Registration_Pricing_20140731.pdf). **Note** You can't use AWS credits to pay the fee, if any, to change the owner of a domain. + For some TLDs, when you change the owner of a domain, we send an authorization email to the email address for the registrant contact. The registrant contact must follow the instructions in the email to authorize the change. + For some TLDs, you need to fill out a Change of Domain Ownership Form and provide proof of identity so that an Amazon Route 53 support engineer can update the values for you. If the TLD for your domain requires a Change of Domain Ownership form, the console displays a message that links to a form for opening a support case. For more information, see [Changing the owner of a domain when the registry requires a Change of Domain Ownership form](#domain-update-contacts-domain-ownership-form). ## TLDs that require special processing to change the owner When you change the owner of a domain, the registries for some TLDs require special processing. If you're changing the owner for any of the following domains, perform the applicable procedure. If you're changing the owner for any other domain, you can change the owner yourself, either programmatically or using the Route 53 console. See [Updating contact information for a domain](#domain-update-contacts-basic). The following TLDs require special processing to change the owner of the domain: [.be](#be-special), [.cl](#cl-special), [.com.br](#com.br-special), [.es](#es-special), [.fi](#fi-special), [.ru](#ru-special), [.se](#se-special), [.sh](#sh-special) **.be** You must get a transfer code from the registry for .be domains, and then open a case with AWS Support. + To get the transfer code, see [https://www.dnsbelgium.be/en/manage-your-domain-name/change-holder\$1transfer](https://www.dnsbelgium.be/en/manage-your-domain-name/change-holder#transfer), and follow the prompts. + To open a case, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). **.cl** You must complete and submit a form to AWS Support.

If you don't respond to this email within 3-15 days (depending on your TLD), your domain registration will be cancelled as required by ICANN, which will interrupt your website and email services. Ensure you can access the registrant contact email address before making any contact changes. ### Before updating domain contacts Before making any changes to your domain's registrant contact information, complete this checklist: 1. **☐ Verify email access** - Confirm you can receive email at the current registrant email address 1. **☐ Understand owner change triggers** - Review [What triggers a domain ownership change?](#domain-update-contacts-who-is-domain-owner) to understand what changes might trigger the owner change process 1. **☐ Plan for potential downtime** - If owner change is triggered, you have 3-15 days to respond to the authorization email or your domain will be cancelled **To update contact information for a domain** 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Registered domains**. 1. Choose the name of the domain that you want to update contact information for. 1. In the **Contact information** tab, choose **Edit**. 1. If you don't have access to the email address for the registrant contact, perform the following steps. If you have access to the email address for the registrant contact, skip to step 6. 1. Change *only* the email address for the registrant contact. Don't change any other values for any of the contacts for the domain. If you also want to change other values, you change them later in the process. Choose **Save changes**. To verify the new email address, we send a verification email to the new address (if required for the TLD). You must choose the link in the email to verify that the new email address is valid. If verification is required, and you don't verify the new email address, Route 53 suspends the domain as required by ICANN. If you need to resend the verification email, navigate to the **Registered domains** page, choose the radio button next to the domain name you updated, and choose the name of the domain that you're updating. On the **Verify your email to avoid domain suspension** alert, choose **Send email again**. 1. If you want to change other values for the registrant, admin, tech, or billing contacts for the domain, return to step 1 and repeat the procedure. 1. Update the applicable values. You can also choose **Copy registrant contact** to automatically fill in the same information you entered for the registrant contact. For more information, see [Values that you specify when you register or transfer a domain](domain-register-values-specify.md). Depending on the TLD for your domain and the values that you're changing, the console might display the following message: "To change the registrant name or organization, open a case." If you see that message, skip the rest of this procedure and see [Changing the owner of a domain when the registry requires a Change of Domain Ownership form](#domain-update-contacts-domain-ownership-form) for more information. 1. Choose **Save**. 1. If you changed the domain owner, as described in [What triggers a domain ownership change?](#domain-update-contacts-who-is-domain-owner), we send email to the registrant contact for the domain. The email asks for authorization for the change of owner. If we don't receive authorization for the change within 3 to 15 days, depending on the top-level domain, we must cancel the request as required by ICANN. The email comes from one of the following email addresses. **** [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-update-contacts.html) 1. If you encounter issues while updating contact information, you can contact AWS Support for free. For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). For information about the API you can use to update the contact information, see [UpdateDomainContact](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/API_domains_UpdateDomainContact.html). ## Changing the owner of a domain when the registry requires a Change of Domain Ownership form If the registry for your domain requires you to complete a Change of Domain Ownership and submit the form to AWS Support, perform the following procedure. To determine whether you need to perform this procedure, see the following topics: + To determine whether the value you're changing is considered a change of owner, see [What triggers a domain ownership change?](#domain-update-contacts-who-is-domain-owner). + To determine whether a Change of Domain Ownership form is required for your domain, see [TLDs that require special processing to change the owner](#domain-update-contacts-tlds). **To change the owner of a domain when the registry requires a Change of Domain Ownership form** 1. See the introduction to this topic to determine whether the registry for your domain requires special processing to change the owner of the domain. If so, and if a Change of Domain Ownership form is required, continue with this procedure. If no Change of Domain Ownership form is required, perform the procedure in the applicable topic instead. 1. Download the [Change of Domain Ownership Form](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/samples/ChangeOfOwnerForm.zip). The file is compressed into a .zip file. 1. Fill out the form. 1. For the registrant contact for the former owner of the domain *and* for the new owner, get a copy of a signed proof of identity (identity card, driver's license, passport, or other legal proof of identity). In addition, if a legal entity is listed as the registrant organization, gather the following information for the former owner of the domain *and* for the new owner: + Proof that the organization that the domain is registered to exists. + Proof that the representatives for the former owner and the new owner are authorized to act on the organization's behalf. This document must be a certified legal document that contains both the name of the organization and the names of the representatives as signing officers (for example, CEO, President, or Executive Director). 1. Scan the Change of Domain Ownership form and the required proof. Save the scanned documents in a common format, such as a .pdf file or a .png file. 1. Using the AWS account that the domain is currently registered to, sign in to the [AWS Support Center](https://console.aws.amazon.com/support/cases#/create?issueType=customer-service&serviceCode=service-domains&categoryCode=change-of-ownership). **Important** You must sign in either by using the root account or by using a user that has been granted IAM permissions in one or more of the following ways: The user is assigned the **AdministratorAccess** managed policy. The user is assigned the **AmazonRoute53DomainsFullAccess** managed policy. The user is assigned the **AmazonRoute53FullAccess** managed policy. If you don't sign in either by using the root account or by using a user that has the required permissions, we can't update the domain owner. This requirement prevents unauthorized users from changing the owner of a domain. 1. Specify the following values: **Regarding** Accept the default value of **Account and billing**. **Service** Accept the default value of **Domains**. **Category** Accept the default value of **Change of Ownership**. **Severity** Accept the default value of **General question**. Choose **Next step: Additional information** **Subject** Specify Change the owner of a domain. **Description** Provide the following information: + Domain that you want to change the owner for + [12-digit account ID](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/acct-identifiers.html#FindingYourAccountIdentifiers) of the AWS account that the domain is registered to **Add attachment** Upload the documents that you scanned in step 5. **Contact method** Specify a contact method and enter the applicable values. 1. Choose **Submit**. An AWS Support engineer reviews the information that you provided and updates the settings. The engineer will either contact you when the update is finished or contact you for more information. # Enabling or disabling privacy protection for contact information for a domain When you register a domain with Amazon Route 53 or transfer a domain to Route 53, we enable privacy protection by default for all the contacts for the domain. This typically hides most of your contact information from WHOIS ("Who is") queries and reduces the amount of spam that you receive. When you enable privacy protection, your contact information is replaced with contact information for the registrar or with the phrase "REDACTED FOR PRIVACY", or "On behalf of owner." If you choose to disable privacy protection, you must disable it for all contacts for a domain. If you do disable privacy protection, anyone can send a WHOIS query for the domain and, for most top-level domains (TLDs), might be able to get all the contact information that you provided when you registered or transferred the domain, including name, address, phone number, and email address. The WHOIS command is widely available; it's included in many operating systems, and it's also available as a web application on many websites. If you are transferring a domain to another registrar, and privacy protection is enabled for the domain contacts, the email to verify the transfer will be delivered from identity-protect.org addresses for TLDs registered with Amazon Registrar. To determine who the registrar is for your TLD, see [Finding your registrar](find-your-registrar.md). The information that you can hide from WHOIS queries depends on two main factors: **The registry for the top level domain** Most TLD registries hide all contact information automatically, some allow you to choose to hide all contact information, some allow you to hide only some information, and some do not allow you to hide any information. **Some TLD registries intentionally suppress privacy protection to comply with local regulations or registry policies.** When privacy protection on a domain is enabled, your contact information is replaced either with contact information for the privacy protection service, or with the phrase "REDACTED FOR PRIVACY." The privacy protection service applies spam prevention features (address rotation and SPF/DKIM/spam analysis) and will, in most cases, automatically forward emails passing these filters. However, it is not advisable to send critical emails to privacy protected email addresses because the spam mechanism might prevent them from being forwarded. Additionally, the choice of which privacy protection mechanism is used for a domain is not configurable and is auto-selected by the system. The contact detail for our privacy protection service can't be manually updated. To enable or disable privacy protection for some domains, you must open a support case and request privacy protection. For more information, see the applicable section in [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md): + [.co.uk (United Kingdom)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar-tld-list.html#registrar-tld-list#co.uk) + [.me.uk (United Kingdom)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar-tld-list.html#registrar-tld-list#me.uk) + [.org.uk (United Kingdom)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar-tld-list.html#registrar-tld-list#org.uk) + [.link](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar-tld-list.html#registrar-tld-list#link) **The registrar** When you register a domain with Route 53 or transfer a domain to Route 53, the registrar for the domain is either Amazon Registrar or our registrar associate, Gandi. Amazon Registrar and Gandi hide different information by default: + **Amazon Registrar** – By default, all of your contact information is hidden. However, regulations for the TLD registry take precedence. + **Gandi** – By default, all of your contact information is hidden except organization name, if any. However, regulations for the TLD registry take precedence. For [geographic TLDs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar-tld-list.html#registrar-tld-list-geographic) that don't allow privacy protection, your personal information will be marked as "redacted" on the [Whois Directory Search](https://v4.gandi.net/whois) page on the Gandi website. However, your personal information might be available at the domain registry or on third-party WHOIS websites. To find out what information is hidden for the TLD for your domain, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). When you want to enable or disable privacy protection for a domain that you registered using Route 53, perform the following procedure. **Important** **Privacy protection availability:** Privacy protection is not available for all TLDs. Common TLDs that don't support privacy protection include .de, .us, .com.au, .es, and several others. If you don't see a "Privacy protection" section when editing your domain's contact information, privacy protection is not supported for your domain's TLD. For a complete list of TLDs that don't support privacy protection, see [TLDs that don't support privacy protection](privacy-protection-tld-support.md). For detailed information about privacy protection support for any TLD, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). **To enable or disable privacy protection for contact information for a domain** 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Registered domains**. 1. Choose the name of the domain that you want to enable or disable privacy protection for. 1. In the **Contact information** section, choose **Edit**. 1. In the **Privacy protection** section, choose whether to hide contact information. You must specify the same privacy setting for all four contacts: admin, registrant, technical, and billing. **Note** If the **Privacy protection** section is not displayed, privacy protection is not supported for your domain's TLD. Your contact information will be publicly visible in WHOIS queries for domains that don't support privacy protection. 1. Choose **Save changes**. 1. If you encounter issues while enabling or disabling privacy protection, you can contact AWS Support for free. For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). # TLDs that don't support privacy protection The following TLDs do not support privacy protection. If your domain uses one of these TLDs, your contact information will be publicly visible in WHOIS queries: Generic TLDs .audio, .ceo, .diet, .flowers, .guitars, .hosting, .juegos, .property, .sexy Geographic TLDs .cl (Chile), .com.ar (Argentina), .com.au (Australia), .com.br (Brazil), .com.sg (Singapore), .de (Germany), .es (Spain), .in (India), .net.au (Australia), .qa (Qatar), .ru (Russia), .sg (Singapore), .us (United States), .vg (British Virgin Islands) **Note** This list includes the most common TLDs that don't support privacy protection. For complete and up-to-date information about privacy protection support for a specific TLD, see the individual TLD page in [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). # Troubleshooting privacy protection issues Privacy protection option is not available in the console This indicates that your domain's TLD does not support privacy protection. Your contact information will be publicly visible in WHOIS queries. This is normal behavior for certain TLDs due to registry policies or local regulations. To verify whether your TLD supports privacy protection, check the individual TLD page in [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md) or see [TLDs that don't support privacy protection](privacy-protection-tld-support.md). Contact information is still visible after enabling privacy protection Some registries maintain their own WHOIS databases and may continue to show contact information even when privacy protection is enabled with Route 53. This is controlled by the TLD registry, not by Route 53. Additionally, some TLD registries intentionally maintain limited privacy protection or redaction services for their domains. # Enabling or disabling automatic renewal for a domain When you want to change whether Amazon Route 53 automatically renews registration for a domain shortly before the expiration date, or you want to see the current setting for automatic renewal, perform the following procedure. Note that you can't use AWS credits to pay the fee for renewing registration for a domain. **Note** Make sure you turn off automatic renewal if you intend to cancel your AWS account. Otherwise, you will continue to receive renewal notices from AWS. Your domain will not, however, be renewed, unless you re-activate your account. **To enable or disable automatic renewal for a domain** 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Registered domains**. 1. Choose the name of the domain that you want to update. 1. On the **Details** section, in the **Actions** dropdown, choose **Turn on auto-renew** In the **Turn on auto-renew for ?** agree to pay the yearly rate, and choose **Turn on**. **Note** The price listed is for the current registration period, and can change. For more information, see [Amazon Route 53 Pricing for Domain Registration](https://d32ze2gidvkk54.cloudfront.net/Amazon_Route_53_Domain_Registration_Pricing_20140731.pdf). 1. To turn off auto-renew, select **Turn off auto-renew** in the **Actions** dropdown. 1. If you encounter issues while enabling or disabling automatic renewal, you can contact AWS Support for free. For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). # Locking a domain to prevent unauthorized transfer to another registrar The domain registries for all generic TLDs and many geographic TLDs let you lock a domain to prevent someone from transferring the domain to another registrar without your permission. To determine whether the registry for your domain lets you lock the domain, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). If locking is supported and you want to lock your domain, perform the following procedure. You can also use the procedure to disable the lock if you want to transfer a domain to another registrar. **To lock a domain to prevent unauthorized transfer to another registrar** 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Registered Domains**. 1. Choose the name of the domain that you want to update. 1. On the **Details** section, in the **Actions** dropdown, choose **Turn on transfer lock** or **Turn off transfer lock**, depending on whether you want to turn the transfer lock on or off. You can navigate to the **Requests** page to see the progress of your request. 1. If you encounter issues while locking a domain, you can contact AWS Support for free. For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). In WHOIS search, this status shows up as: `clientTransferProhibited`. Some TLDs might have these statuses in addition: + `clientUpdateProhibited` + `clientDeleteProhibited` # Extending the registration period for a domain When you register a domain with Amazon Route 53 or you transfer domain registration to Route 53, we configure the domain to renew automatically. The automatic renewal period is typically one year, although the registries for some top-level domains (TLDs) have longer renewal periods. Note the following: **Maximum renewal period** All generic TLDs and many country-code TLDs let you extend domain registration for longer periods, typically up to ten years in one-year increments. To determine whether you can extend the registration period for your domain, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). If longer registration periods are allowed, perform the following procedure. **Restrictions on when you can renew or extend a domain registration** Some TLD registries have restrictions on when you can renew or extend a domain registration, for example, the last two months before the domain expires. Even if the registry allows extending the registration period for a domain, they might not allow it at the current number of days before the domain expires. For example, if the maximum allowable renewal period is 5 years for the TLDs that you have your domain with, you can add yearly renewals at any time until you reach the 5-year limit. More specifically, if you have a domain that currently has 2.5 years of validity, you can only renew it for up to 2 more years. **AWS credits** You can't use AWS credits to pay the fee for extending the registration period for a domain. **To extend the registration period for your domain** 1. Open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Registered Domains**. 1. Choose the name of the domain for which you want to extend the registration period. 1. In the **Details** section, in the **Actions** dropdown choose **Renew domain registration**. 1. In the **Renew domain registrations** dialog box, in the **Renewal period** dropdown, choose the number of years that you want to extend the registration for. The list shows all the current options based on the current expiration date and the maximum registration period allowed by the registry for this domain. The expiration date with that number of years applied is listed under the duration. 1. Choose **Renew domain registration**. When we receive confirmation from the registry that they've updated your expiration date, we send you an email to confirm that we've changed the expiration date. 1. If you encounter issues while extending the registration period for a domain, you can contact AWS Support for free. For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). # Updating name servers to use another registrar If you want to move DNS management to another registrar, you need to update the name servers to point to **To update the name servers for your domain when you want to use another DNS service** 1. Use the process that is provided by your DNS service to get the name servers for the domain. 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Registered domains**. 1. Choose the name of the domain that you want to configure to use another DNS service. 1. In the **Details** section, under the **Actions** drop-down, choose **Edit name servers**. 1. Delete the existing name servers, and then add the names of the name servers to the name servers that you got from your DNS service in step 1. 1. Choose **Save changes**. 1. (Optional) Delete the hosted zone that Route 53 created automatically when you registered your domain. This prevents you from being charged for a hosted zone that you aren't using. 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Hosted Zones**. 1. Select the radio button for the hosted zone that has the same name as your domain. 1. Choose **Delete Hosted Zone**. 1. Choose **Confirm** to confirm that you want to delete the hosted zone. # Adding or changing name servers and glue records for a domain When you register a domain with Route 53, we automatically create a hosted zone for the domain, assign four name servers to the hosted zone, and then update the domain registration to use those name servers. You typically don't need to change those settings unless you want to use another DNS service or you want to use white-label name servers. The maximum number of name servers per domain in Route 53 is 6. **Warning** If you change name servers to the wrong values, specify the wrong IP addresses in glue records, or delete one or more name servers without specifying new ones, your website or application might become unavailable on the internet for up to two days. **Topics** + [ ## Considerations for changing name servers and glue records ](#domain-name-servers-glue-records-considerations) + [ ## Adding or changing name servers or glue records ](#domain-name-servers-glue-records-adding-changing) ## Considerations for changing name servers and glue records Consider the following issues before you change your configuration. **Topics** + [You want to make Route 53 the DNS service for your domain](#updating-name-servers-route-53) + [You want to use another DNS service](#updating-name-servers-other-dns-service) + [You want to use white-label name servers](#updating-name-servers-white-label) + [You're changing name servers for a .it domain](#updating-name-servers-it-domains) **You want to make Route 53 the DNS service for your domain** If you're currently using another DNS service and you want to make Route 53 the DNS service for your domain, see [Making Amazon Route 53 the DNS service for an existing domainMaking Route 53 the DNS service for an existing domain](MigratingDNS.md) for detailed instructions on how to migrate DNS service to Route 53. If you don't rigorously follow the migration process, your domain can become unavailable on the internet for up to two days. **You want to use another DNS service** If you want to use a DNS service other than Route 53 for your domain, use the following procedure to change the name servers for the domain registration to the name servers that are provided by the other DNS service. If you change name servers and Route 53 returns the following error message, the registry for the TLD doesn't recognize the name servers that you specified as valid name servers: `"We're sorry to report that the operation failed after we forwarded your request to our registrar associate. This is because: One or more of the specified name servers are not known to the domain registry."` TLD registries commonly support name servers provided by public DNS services but don't support private DNS servers, such as DNS servers that you configured on Amazon EC2 instances, unless the registry has IP addresses for those name servers. Route 53 doesn't support using name servers that aren't recognized by the TLD registry. If you encounter this error, you must change to name servers for Route 53 or another public DNS service. **You want to use white-label name servers** If you want the names of your name servers to be subdomains of your domain name, you can create white-label name servers. (White-label name servers are also known as vanity name servers or private name servers.) For example, you might create name servers ns1.example.com through ns4.example.com for the domain example.com. To use white-label name servers, use the following procedure to specify the IP addresses of your name servers instead of the names. These IP addresses are known as glue records. For more information about configuring white-label name servers, see [Configuring white-label name servers](white-label-name-servers.md). **You're changing name servers for a .it domain** IName servers for your IT domain must pass a DNS check. We suggest that you check the name servers at [https://dns-check.nic.it/](https://dns-check.nic.it/) before you submit the change request. The registry continues to respond to DNS queries using the name servers from before you made the change. If the previous name servers are no longer available, your domain becomes unavailable on the internet. Whenever you change name servers for a domain, confirm that DNS is responding to queries with the new name servers before you cancel the old DNS service or you delete the Route 53 hosted zone that used the old name servers. For information about getting help from AWS to correct the names of your name servers with the registry for .it domains, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). ## Adding or changing name servers or glue records To add or change name servers or glue records, perform the following procedure. **Note** By default, DNS resolvers typically cache the names of name servers for two days. As a result, your changes can take two days to take effect. For more information, see [How Amazon Route 53 routes traffic for your domain](welcome-dns-service.md#welcome-dns-service-how-route-53-routes-traffic). **To add or change name servers or glue records for a domain** 1.

In the navigation pane, choose **Registered domains**. 1. Choose the name of the domain for which you want to edit settings. 1. In the **Details** section, in the **Actions** dropdown choose **Edit name servers**. 1. In the **Edit name servers** dialog box, you can do the following: + Change the DNS service for the domain by doing one of the following: + Replace the name servers for another DNS service with the name servers for a Route 53 hosted zone + Replace the name servers for a Route 53 hosted zone with the name servers for another DNS service + Replace the name servers for one Route 53 hosted zone with the name servers for a different Route 53 hosted zone For information about changing the DNS service for a domain, see [Making Amazon Route 53 the DNS service for an existing domainMaking Route 53 the DNS service for an existing domain](MigratingDNS.md).

You can enter addresses in IPv4 or IPv6 format. If a name server has multiple IP addresses, enter each address on a separate line. A white-label name server includes your domain name, such as example.com, in the name of the name server, such as ns1.example.com. When you specify a white-label name server, Route 53 prompts you to specify one or more IP addresses for the name server. The IP address is known as a glue record. For more information, see [Configuring white-label name servers](white-label-name-servers.md). + Delete a name server. Choose the x icon on the right side of the field for that name server. **Warning** If you change name servers to the wrong values, specify the wrong IP addresses in glue records, or delete one or more name servers without specifying new ones, your website or application might become unavailable on the internet for up to two days. 1. Choose **Update**. 1. If you encounter issues while adding or changing name servers or glue records, you can contact AWS Support for free. For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). # Renewing registration for a domain When you register a domain with Amazon Route 53 or you transfer domain registration to Route 53, we configure the domain to renew automatically. The automatic renewal period is typically one year, although the registries for some top-level domains (TLDs) have longer renewal periods. For the registration and renewal period for your TLD, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). **Note** You can't use AWS credits to pay the fee for renewing registration for a domain. For most top-level domains (TLDs), you can change the expiration date for a domain. For more information, see [Extending the registration period for a domain](domain-extend.md). **Important** If you turn off automatic renewal, be aware of the following effects on your domain: Some TLD registries delete domains even before the expiration date if you don't renew early enough. We strongly recommend that you leave automatic renewal enabled if you want to keep a domain name. We also strongly recommend that you don't plan to re-register a domain after it has expired. Some registrars allow others to register domains immediately after the domains expire, so you might not be able to re-register before the domain is taken by someone else. Some registries charge a large premium to restore expired domains. On or near the expiration date, the domain becomes unavailable on the internet. To determine whether automatic renewal is enabled for your domain, see [Enabling or disabling automatic renewal for a domain](domain-enable-disable-auto-renewal.md). If automatic renewal is enabled, here's what happens: **45 days before expiration** We send an email to the registrant contact that tells you that automatic renewal is currently enabled and gives instructions about how to disable it. Keep your registrant contact email address current so you don't miss this email. **35 or 30 days before expiration** For all domains except .com.ar and .com.br domains, we renew domain registration 35 days before the expiration date so we have time to resolve any issues with your renewal before the domain name expires. The registries for .com.ar and .com.br domains require that we renew the domains no more than 30 days before expiration. You'll get a renewal email from Gandi, our registrar associate, 30 days before expiration, which is the same day that we renew your domain if you have automatic renewal enabled. When we renew your domain, we send you an email to let you know that we renewed it. If the renewal failed, we send you an email to explain why it failed. If automatic renewal is disabled, here's what happens as the expiration date for a domain name approaches: **45 days before expiration** We send an email to the registrant contact for the domain that tells you that automatic renewal is currently disabled and gives instructions about how to enable it. Keep your registrant contact email address current so you don't miss this email. **30 days and 7 days before expiration** If automatic renewal is disabled for the domain, ICANN, the governing body for domain registration, requires the registrar to send you an email. The email comes from one of the following email addresses: + **noreply@registrar.amazon** – For domains for which the registrar is Amazon Registrar. + **noreply@domainnameverification.net** or **noreply@emailverification.info** – For domains for which the registrar is our registrar associate, Gandi. To determine who the registrar is for your TLD, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). If you enable automatic renewal less than 30 days before expiration, and the renewal period has not passed, we renew the domain within 24 hours. Some TLD registries have restrictions on when you can renew a domain. For details specific to your domain, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). In addition, processing a renewal can take up to a day. If you delay too long before enabling automatic renewal, the domain might expire before renewal can be processed, and you might lose the domain. If the expiration date is approaching, we recommend that you manually extend the expiration date for the domain. For more information, see [Extending the registration period for a domain](domain-extend.md). For more information about renewal periods, see the Deadlines for renewing and restoring domains section for your TLD in [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). **After the expiration date** The registrar holds most domains for a brief time after expiration, so you might be able to renew an expired domain after the expiration date, but if you want to keep your domain, we strongly recommend that you keep automatic renewal enabled. For information about trying to renew a domain after the expiration date, see [Restoring an expired or deleted domain](domain-restore-expired.md). If your domain expires but late renewal is allowed for the domain, you can renew the domain for the standard renewal price. To determine whether a domain is still within the late-renewal period, perform the procedure in the [Extending the registration period for a domain](domain-extend.md) section. If the domain is still listed, it's within the late-renewal period. For more information about renewal periods, see the Deadlines for renewing and restoring domains section for your TLD in [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). # Restoring an expired or deleted domain If you don't renew a domain before the end of the late-renewal period or if you accidentally delete the domain, for some registries for top-level domains (TLDs), you can restore the domain before it becomes available for others to register. When a domain is deleted or it passes the end of the late-renewal period, it no longer appears in the Amazon Route 53 console. **Important** The price for restoring a domain is typically higher and sometimes much higher than the price for registering or renewing a domain. For the current price for restoring a domain, see the Restoration Price column in [Amazon Route 53 Pricing for Domain Registration](https://d32ze2gidvkk54.cloudfront.net/Amazon_Route_53_Domain_Registration_Pricing_20140731.pdf). You can't use AWS credits to pay the fee for restoring an expired domain. **To try to restore domain registration when a domain is deleted or the late-renewal period has expired** 1. Determine whether the TLD registry for the domain supports restoring domains and, if so, the period during which restoration is allowed. 1. Go to [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). **Important** For generic TLD domains that are deleted within the first 5 days after registration, the standard 30-day redemption period (to check for the actual redemption period number of days, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md)) does not apply. Instead, these domains become immediately available for new registration. 1. Find the TLD for your domain, and review the values in the Deadlines for renewing and restoring domains section. **Important** We forward restoration requests to Gandi, which processes the requests during business hours Monday through Friday. Gandi is based in Paris, where the time is UTC/GMT \$11 hour. As a result, depending on when you submit your request, in rare cases it can take a week or more for a request to be processed. 1. Review the price for restoring a domain, which is often higher and sometimes much higher than the price for registering or renewing a domain. In [Amazon Route 53 Pricing for Domain Registration](https://d32ze2gidvkk54.cloudfront.net/Amazon_Route_53_Domain_Registration_Pricing_20140731.pdf), find the TLD for your domain (such as .com) and check the price in the Restoration Price column. If you still want to restore the domain, make note of the price; you'll need it in a later step. 1. Using the AWS account that the domain was registered to, sign in to the [AWS Support Center](https://console.aws.amazon.com/support/cases#/create?issueType=customer-service&serviceCode=service-domains&categoryCode=restoration). 1. Specify the following values: **Regarding** Accept the default value of **Account and billing**. **Service** Accept the default value of **Domains**. **Category** Accept the default value of **Restoration**. **Severity** Accept the default value of **General question**. Choose **Next step: Additional information** **Subject** Enter **Restore an expired domain** or **Restore a deleted domain**. **Description** Provide the following information: + The domain that you want to restore + The [12-digit account ID](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/acct-identifiers.html#FindingYourAccountIdentifiers) of the AWS account that the domain was registered to + Confirmation that you agree to the price for restoring the domain. Use the following text: **"I agree to the price of \$1\$1\$1\$1\$1 for restoring my domain."** Replace the blank with the price that you found in step 2. **Contact method** Specify a contact method and enter the applicable values. 1. Choose **Submit**. 1. When we learn whether we were able to restore your domain, an AWS Support representative will contact you. In addition, if we were able to restore your domain, the domain will reappear in the console. The expiration date depends on whether the domain expired or was accidentally deleted: **The domain expired** The new expiration date is usually one or two years (depending on the TLD) after the old expiration date. The new expiration date is not calculated from the date that the domain was restored. **The domain was accidentally deleted** The expiration date typically doesn't change. # Replacing the hosted zone for a domain that is registered with Route 53 If you [delete the hosted zone](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/DeleteHostedZone.html) for a domain, you need to create another hosted zone when you're ready to make the domain available on the internet. Perform the following procedure. **To replace the hosted zone for a domain** 1. Create a public hosted zone. For more information, see [Creating a public hosted zone](CreatingHostedZone.md). 1. Create records in the hosted zone. Records define how you want to route traffic for the domain (example.com) and subdomains (acme.example.com, zenith.example.com). For more information, see [Working with records](rrsets-working-with.md). 1. Update the domain configuration to use the name servers for the new hosted zone. For more information, see [Adding or changing name servers and glue records for a domain](domain-name-servers-glue-records.md). **Important** When you create a hosted zone, Route 53 assigns a set of four name servers to the hosted zone. If you delete a hosted zone and then create one, Route 53 assigns another set of four name servers. Typically, none of the name servers for the new hosted zone match any of the name servers for the previous hosted zone. If you don't update the domain configuration to use the name servers for the new hosted zone, the domain will remain unavailable on the internet. 1. If you encounter issues while replacing the hosted zone for a domain, you can contact AWS Support for free. For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). # Transferring domains You can transfer domain registration from another registrar to Amazon Route 53, from one AWS account to another, or from Route 53 to another registrar. There is no cost for transferring domains from one AWS account to another. The topics in this section cover the following topics related to transferring domains: 1.

By following the information provided in the topics listed above, you can effectively transfer domains to and from Route 53, manage the transfer process, and ensure a smooth transition while maintaining proper DNS configuration and routing. # Choose your Route 53 transfer type When you want to use Amazon Route 53 with your domain, you have two options. Understanding the difference will help you choose the right approach for your needs: ## Transfer domain registration to Route 53 With this option, Route 53 becomes your domain registrar. This means you'll manage your domain renewals, contact information, and DNS settings all through Route 53. **Choose this option if you want to:** + Consolidate domain management and DNS hosting in one place + Take advantage of Route 53 domain management features + Simplify billing by having domain renewals on your AWS bill **What to expect:** + **Time to complete:** 5-7 days + **Prerequisites:** Authorization code from current registrar, unlock domain, verify registrant email + **Who you pay for renewals:** Route 53 **Next step:** Complete the [Pre-transfer checklist for domain transfers](domain-transfer-checklist.md) to prepare for the transfer. ## Use Route 53 for DNS hosting only With this option, you keep your current domain registrar but use Route 53 as your DNS service. **Choose this option if you want to:** + Keep your existing registrar relationship + Use Route 53 advanced DNS features without changing registrars + Get started quickly with minimal prerequisites **What to expect:** + **Time to complete:** Up to 2 days (depends on DNS propagation) + **Prerequisites:** None + **Who you pay for renewals:** Your current registrar **Next step:** Go to [Configuring Amazon Route 53 as your DNS service](dns-configuring.md) to set up DNS hosting. **Important** You don't have to transfer your domain registration to use Route 53 as your DNS service. You can keep your existing registrar and use Route 53 only for DNS hosting. # Pre-transfer checklist for domain transfers Before you begin transferring your domain registration to Amazon Route 53, complete the following checks to avoid common transfer failures and ensure a smooth process. ## Decide what you want to transfer Choose the option that matches your needs: **Transfer domain registration to Route 53** Your registrar becomes Amazon Route 53. You pay Route 53 for domain renewals and manage domain settings through the Route 53 console. **Next step:** Continue with this checklist, then follow [Transferring registration for a domain to Amazon Route 53](domain-transfer-to-route-53.md). **Use Route 53 for DNS hosting only** Keep your current registrar but use Route 53 name servers for DNS resolution. You continue paying your current registrar for renewals. **Next step:** Skip this checklist and follow [Configuring Amazon Route 53 as your DNS service](dns-configuring.md). ## Prerequisites checklist Complete all of the following before starting your domain transfer. **Pre-transfer checklist (Complete all items)** 1. **☐ Verify registrant email access** Confirm that you can receive email at the registrant email address, as it will receive the domain transfer authorization email. **Important** If you cannot access the current registrant email address, update the email address for the registrant contact with your current registrar and wait 60 days before transferring. 1. **☐ Unlock domain** Access your current registrar domain settings and disable the "Domain Lock" or "Transfer Lock" protection, if enabled. **Note** After disabling the lock, allow a few minutes for the change to take effect before starting your transfer. 1. **☐ Obtain authorization code** Request an authorization code (auth code) from your current registrar and maintain its confidentiality. You'll enter this code in the Route 53 console later in the transfer process. 1. **☐ Verify domain age and eligibility** Confirm your domain meets ICANN transfer requirements: + The domain must be at least 60 days old since initial registration. + If the domain registration expired and was restored, it must have been restored at least 60 days ago. **Tip** ICANN rules may temporarily block transfers if registrant contact details were updated recently (for example, changing your name or email). Some registrars let you opt out of this hold — check with your current registrar if you're unsure. 1. **☐ Prepare payment method** Ensure your AWS account has a valid payment method. When you transfer a domain to Route 53, the transfer fee that we apply to your AWS account varies by top-level domain. For current pricing, see [Route 53 Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/route53/pricing/). **Note** You cannot use AWS credits to pay for domain transfers. Route 53 charges the transfer fee before starting the process and provides an immediate refund if the transfer fails. 1. **☐ Disable DNSSEC (if enabled)** If DNSSEC is currently enabled with your current registrar, temporarily disable it before starting the transfer. This ensures the transfer can complete without DNS validation issues. **Why this matters:** When you transfer a domain, the DNSSEC keys (KSK/ZSK) and DS records stored at your current registrar are not automatically transferred to Route 53. If you re-enable DNSSEC without reconfiguring these keys in Route 53, your domain may fail DNS validation. **Safe approach (recommended):** 1. Disable DNSSEC at your current registrar before initiating the transfer. 1. Complete the domain transfer and create your Route 53 hosted zone (if not already created). 1. Verify that all DNS records are resolving correctly without DNSSEC enabled. 1. Configure DNSSEC in Route 53 using your hosted zone's new KSK/ZSK values. 1. Re-enable DNSSEC by publishing the new DS record with your TLD registrar (now Route 53). **Tip** If you are transferring your domain along with creating a new hosted zone in Route 53, disable DNSSEC before transferring, then wait until the hosted zone setup is verified and DNS resolution works correctly. Once confirmed, you can safely enable DNSSEC again from Route 53's console. Always verify your DNS configuration in Route 53 before re-enabling DNSSEC. For more information about DNSSEC with Route 53, see [Configuring DNSSEC for a domain](domain-configure-dnssec.md). ## Optional: Transfer DNS service first Consider transferring your DNS service to Route 53 before transferring domain registration. This approach provides these benefits: + Reduces the risk of website or email downtime during the transfer + Allows you to test Route 53 DNS functionality before committing to the full transfer + Provides a fallback option if the domain transfer encounters issues To transfer DNS service first, see [Configuring Amazon Route 53 as your DNS service](dns-configuring.md). ## Next steps After completing this checklist: 1. Follow the step-by-step transfer process in [Transferring registration for a domain to Amazon Route 53](domain-transfer-to-route-53.md). 1. Monitor your email for authorization messages during the transfer process. # Transferring registration for a domain to Amazon Route 53 **Important** During the transfer of any country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) to Route 53, except for .cc and .tv, updates to the owner contact are ignored and the owner contact data from the registry is used. You can update the owner contact after the transfer is complete. For more information, see [Updating contact information and ownership for a domain](domain-update-contacts.md). To transfer the registration for a domain to Amazon Route 53, follow the procedures in this topic. ## Transfer process overview Domain transfer involves these key steps: 1. **Complete pre-transfer checklist** Verify prerequisites to avoid transfer failures. See [Pre-transfer checklist for domain transfers](domain-transfer-checklist.md). 1. **Request transfer in Route 53 console** Enter domain name and authorization code. See [Step 5: Request the transfer](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-request-transfer). 1. **Authorize via email** (*Customer action required)* Click authorization link sent to registrant email within 5 days. See [Step 6: Click the link in the confirmation and authorization emails](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-authorize-transfer). 1. **Wait for completion** Transfer completes automatically unless rejected by current registrar. Monitor status in console. **Most common failure points** The following are solutions for common issues: + **Email not received**: Verify registrant email is accessible and check spam folder + **Domain locked**: Unlock at current registrar before starting transfer + **Invalid auth code**: Request new authorization code from current registrar + **60-day rule violation**: 60-day ICANN rule (eligibility window). Transfers are blocked within 60 days of initial registration or a registrant contact change. Some registrars allow an opt-out before the change—ask your current registrar if applicable. **Important** If you skip a step, your domain might become unavailable on the internet. Note the following: **Contacting AWS Support** If you encounter issues while transferring a domain, you can contact AWS Support for free. For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). **Expiration date** For information about how transferring your domain affects the current expiration date, see [How transferring a domain to Amazon Route 53 affects the expiration date for your domain registration](domain-transfer-to-route-53-expiration.md). **Transfer fee** When you transfer a domain to Route 53, the transfer fee that we apply to your AWS account depends on the top-level domain, such as .com or .org. For more information, see [Route 53 Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/route53/pricing/). You can't use AWS credits to pay the fee, if any, for transferring a domain to Route 53. Route 53 charges the fee for transferring your domain before we start the transfer process. If a transfer fails for some reason, we immediately credit your account for the cost of the transfer. **Special and premium domain names** TLD registries have assigned special or premium prices to some domain names. You can't transfer a domain to Route 53 if the domain has a special or premium price. **Domain quotas** The default maximum number of domains per AWS account is 20. You can [request a higher quota](https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/home/services/route53/quotas/L-F767CB15). For more information, see [Quotas on domains](DNSLimitations.md#limits-api-entities-domains). **Name servers limit** The maximum number of name servers per domain in Route 53 is 6. **Topics** + [ ## Transfer process overview ](#domain-transfer-overview) + [ ## Transfer requirements for top-level domains ](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-requirements) + [ ## Step 1: Confirm that Amazon Route 53 supports the top-level domain ](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-confirm-tld) + [ ## Step 2 (Optional): Transfer your DNS service to Amazon Route 53 or another DNS service provider ](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-transfer-dns) + [ ## Step 3: Change settings with the current registrar ](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-change-registrar-settings) + [ ## Step 4: Get the names of your name servers ](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-get-name-servers) + [ ## Step 5: Request the transfer ](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-request-transfer) + [ ## Step 6: Click the link in the confirmation and authorization emails ](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-authorize-transfer) + [ ## Step 7: Update the domain configuration ](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-change-configuration) ## Transfer requirements for top-level domains Most domain registrars enforce requirements on transferring a domain to another registrar. The primary purpose of these requirements is to prevent the owners of fraudulent domains from repeatedly transferring the domains to different registrars. Requirements vary, but the following requirements are typical: + You must have either registered the domain with the current registrar or transferred registration for the domain to the current registrar at least 60 days ago. + If the registration for a domain name expired and had to be restored, it must have been restored at least 60 days ago. + The domain cannot have any of the following domain name status codes: + clientTransferProhibited + pendingDelete + pendingTransfer + redemptionPeriod + serverTransferProhibited + The registries for some top-level domains don't allow transfers until changes are complete, such as changes to the domain owner. For a current list of domain name status codes and an explanation of what each code means, go to the [website for ICANN](https://www.icann.org/), and search for EPP status codes. (Search on the ICANN website; web searches sometimes return an old version of the document.) **Note** ICANN is the organization that establishes policies governing registration and transfer of domain names. You can also search for your domain name in [website for Whois](https://www.whois.com/whois/) to see status codes and other information for your domain. ## Step 1: Confirm that Amazon Route 53 supports the top-level domain See [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). If the top-level domain for the domain that you want to transfer is on the list, you can transfer the domain to Amazon Route 53. If a TLD is not on the list, you can't currently transfer the domain registration to Route 53. We occasionally add more TLDs to the list, so check back to see if we've added support for your domain. ## Step 2 (Optional): Transfer your DNS service to Amazon Route 53 or another DNS service provider **Why transfer DNS first?** Some registrars provide free DNS service that might be disabled as soon as they receive a request from Route 53 to transfer the domain's registration. If you'd like Route 53 to provide DNS service for your domain, see [Making Amazon Route 53 the DNS service for an existing domainMaking Route 53 the DNS service for an existing domain](MigratingDNS.md). ## Step 3: Change settings with the current registrar Using the method provided by your current registrar, do each of the following for each domain that you want to transfer. + [Confirm that the email for the registrant contact for your domain is up to date](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-change-registrar-settings-email) + [Unlock the domain so it can be transferred](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-change-registrar-settings-unlock) + [Confirm that the domain status allows you to transfer the domain](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-change-registrar-settings-status) + [Disable DNSSEC for the domain](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-change-registrar-settings-dnssec) + [Get an authorization code](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-change-registrar-settings-code) + [Renew your domain registration before you transfer the domain (selected geographic TLDs)](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-change-registrar-settings-renew) **Confirm that the email for the registrant contact for your domain is up to date** We'll send email to that email address to request authorization for the transfer. You need to click a link in the email to authorize the transfer. If you don't click the link, we must cancel the transfer. The contact you list as the registrant will have certain rights as the Registered Name Holder of the domain name, under the [ICANN Transfer Policy](https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/transfer-policy-2016-06-01-en). Most domains will be deleted upon closure of your AWS account (for more information, see [My AWS account is closed or permanently closed, and my domain is registered with Route 53](troubleshooting-account-closed.md)), however if a domain remains in a closed account, the contact you listed as the registrant may have the ability to request a transfer of the domain name to an external registrar. Therefore, it is important that the registrant contact you list is either yourself or another person you trust to act responsibly. **Unlock the domain so it can be transferred** ICANN, the governing body for domain registrations requires that you unlock your domain before you transfer it. **Confirm that the domain status allows you to transfer the domain** For more information, see [Transfer requirements for top-level domains](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-requirements). ** Disable DNSSEC for the domain ** If you use DNSSEC with a domain and you transfer the domain registration to Route 53, you must disable DNSSEC at the former registrar first. Then, after you transfer the domain registration, take steps to set up DNSSEC for the domain in Route 53. Route 53 supports DNSSEC for domain registration and for DNSSEC signing. For more information, see [Configuring DNSSEC signing in Amazon Route 53](dns-configuring-dnssec.md). If you transfer a domain registration to Route 53 while DNSSEC is configured, the DNSSEC public keys are transferred, too. If you transfer DNS service to a provider that doesn't support DNSSEC, DNS resolution fails intermittently until you delete the DNSSEC keys from the domain. For more information, see [Deleting public keys for a domain](domain-configure-dnssec.md#domain-configure-dnssec-deleting-keys). **Get an authorization code** An authorization code from the current registrar authorizes us to request that registration for the domain be transferred to Route 53. You'll enter this code in the Route 53 console later in the process. Some top-level domains have additional requirements: **.co.za domains** You don't need to get an authorization code to transfer a .co.za domain to Route 53. **.uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, and .org.uk domains** If you're transferring a .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, or .org.uk domain to Route 53, you don't need to get an authorization code. Instead, use the method provided by your current domain registrar to update the value of the IPS tag for the domain to **GANDI**, all uppercase. (An IPS tag is required by Nominet, the registry for .uk domain names.) If your registrar doesn't provide a way to change the value of the IPS tag, [contact Nominet](https://www.nominet.uk/domain-support/online-services). Note the following about changing the IPS tag: **You must request the transfer within five days** If you don't request the transfer within five days after you change the IPS tag, the tag changes back to the previous value. You must change the value of the IPS tag again, or the transfer request will fail. **Viewing the IPS tag in WHOIS queries** The change to the IPS tag doesn't appear in WHOIS queries until after the transfer to Route 53 has completed. **Email from Gandi** You might receive an email from our registrar associate, Gandi, about the transfer process. If you receive an email from Gandi (transfer-auth@gandi.net) about transferring your domain, ignore the instructions in the email because they aren't relevant to a .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, or .org.uk domains. Follow the instructions in this topic instead. **Renew your domain registration before you transfer the domain (selected geographic TLDs)** For most TLDs, when you transfer a domain, the registration is automatically extended by one year. However, for some geographic TLDs, registration is not extended when you transfer the domain. If you're transferring a domain to Route 53 that has one of these TLDs, we recommend that you renew the domain registration before you transfer the domain, especially if the expiration date is approaching. If you don't renew the domain before you transfer it, the registration could expire before the transfer is complete. If this happens, the domain becomes unavailable on the internet, and the domain name could become available for others to purchase. Registration is not automatically extended when you transfer the following domains to another registrar: + .ch (Switzerland) + .cl (Chile) + .co.uk (United Kingdom) + .co.za (South Africa) + .com.au (Australia) + .cz (Czech Republic) + .es (Spain) + .fi (Finland) + .im (Isle of Man) + .jp (Japan) + .me.uk (United Kingdom) + .net.au (Australia) + .org.uk (United Kingdom) + .se (Sweden) + .uk (United Kingdom) ## Step 4: Get the names of your name servers If you're using Amazon Route 53 as your DNS service or you're continuing to use the existing DNS service, we'll get the names of the name servers for you automatically later in the process. Skip to [Step 5: Request the transfer](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-request-transfer). If you want to change the DNS service to a provider other than Route 53 at the same time that you're transferring the domain to Route 53, use the procedure provided by the DNS service provider to get the names of the name servers for each domain that you want to transfer. **Important** If the registrar for your domain is also the DNS service provider for the domain, transfer your DNS service to Route 53 or another DNS service provider *before* you continue with the process to transfer the domain registration. If you transfer DNS service at the same time that you transfer domain registration, your website, email, and the web applications associated with the domain might become unavailable. For more information, see [Step 2 (Optional): Transfer your DNS service to Amazon Route 53 or another DNS service provider](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-transfer-dns). ## Step 5: Request the transfer To transfer domain registration from the current registrar to Amazon Route 53, use the Route 53 console to request the transfer. Route 53 handles the communication with the current registrar for the domain. You can use the console to transfer up to five domains. The procedure that you use depends on whether you want to transfer a single domain or up to five domains: + [To transfer domain registration of a single domain to Route 53](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-single-procedure) + [To transfer domain registration to Route 53 for up to five domains](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-up-to-five-procedure) Use the **Transfer domain to your account** process to transfer a single domain to your account. **To transfer domain registration of a single domain to Route 53** 1. Open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Registered domains**. 1. On the **Registered Domains** page, choose **Single domain** from the **Transfer in** dropdown. 1. On the **Transfer domain to your account** page, in the **Check domain transferability** section, enter the name of the domain for which you want to transfer registration to Route 53, and choose **Check**. 1. If the domain registration is available for transfer, verify that you have completed the transfer requirements for top-level domains, and choose **Next**. If the domain registration is not available for transfer, the Route 53 console lists the reasons. Contact your registrar for information about how to resolve the issues that prevent you from transferring the registration. 1. On the **DNS service** page, review the information about name servers, and choose **Next**. 1. If prompted, enter the authorization code or IPS tag that you got from your current registrar in [Step 3: Change settings with the current registrar](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-change-registrar-settings). **Note** You don't need to enter an authorization code to transfer a .co.za, .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, or .org.uk domain to Route 53. Choose **Next**. 1. On the **Domain pricing options** page, choose the number of years that you want to register the domain you are transferring for and whether you want us to automatically renew your domain registration before the expiration date. **Note** Domain name registrations and renewals are not refundable. If you enable automatic domain renewal and you decide that you don't want the domain name after we renew the registration, you can't get a refund for the cost of the renewal. Choose **Next**. 1. On the **Contact information** page, enter contact information for the domain registrant, admin, technical, and billing contacts. The values that you enter here are applied to all of the domains that you're registering. For more information, see [Values that you specify when you register or transfer a domain](domain-register-values-specify.md). Note the following considerations: **First Name and Last Name** For **First Name** and **Last Name**, we recommend that you specify the name on your official ID. For some changes to domain settings, some domain registries require that you provide proof of identity. The name on your ID must match the name of the registrant contact for the domain. **Different contacts** By default, we use the same information for all three contacts. If you want to enter different information for one or more contacts, change the value of **Same as registrant contact** toggle switch to off position. For .it domains, the registrant and admin contacts must be the same. **Additional required information** For some top-level domains (TLDs), we're required to collect additional information. For these TLDs, enter the applicable values after the **Postal/Zip Code** field. **Privacy protection** Choose whether you want to hide your contact information from WHOIS queries. You must specify the same privacy setting for the admin, registrant, and technical contacts. For more information, see the following topics: + [Enabling or disabling privacy protection for contact information for a domain](domain-privacy-protection.md) + [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md) To enable privacy protection for .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, and .org.uk domains, you must open a support case and request privacy protection. Choose **Next**. 1. On the **Review** page, review the information that you entered, and optionally correct it. Read the terms of service, and select the check box to confirm that you've read the terms of service. Choose **Submit request**. 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Domains** and then **Requests**. On this page, you can view the status of domain and also if you need to respond to registrant contact verification email. You can also choose to resend the verification email. If you specified an email address for the registrant contact that has never been used to register a domain with Route 53, some TLD registries require you to verify that the address is valid. We send a verification email from one of the following email addresses: + **noreply@registrar.amazon** – for TLDs registered by Amazon Registrar. + **noreply@domainnameverification.net** or **noreply@emailverification.info** – for TLDs registered by our registrar associate, Gandi. To determine who the registrar is for your TLD, see [Finding your registrar](find-your-registrar.md). **Important** The registrant contact must follow the instructions in the email to verify that the email was received, or we must suspend the domain as required by ICANN. When a domain is suspended, it's not accessible on the internet. 1. When you receive the verification email, choose the link in the email that verifies that the email address is valid. If you don't receive the email immediately, check your junk email folder. 1. Return to the **Requests** page. If the status doesn't automatically update to say **email-address is verified**, choose **Refresh status**. 1. When domain transfer is complete, your next step depends on whether you want to use Route 53 or another DNS service as the DNS service for the domain: + **Route 53** – In the hosted zone that Route 53 created when you registered the domain, create records to tell Route 53 how you want to route traffic for the domain and subdomains. For example, when someone enters your domain name in a browser and that query is forwarded to Route 53, do you want Route 53 to respond to the query with the IP address of a web server in your data center or with the name of an Elastic Load Balancing load balancer? For more information, see [Working with records](rrsets-working-with.md). **Important** If you create records in a hosted zone other than the one that Route 53 creates automatically, you must update the name servers for the domain to use the name servers for the new hosted zone. + **Another DNS service** – Configure your new domain to route DNS queries to the other DNS service. Perform the procedure [Updating name servers to use another registrar](domain-register-other-dns-service.md). Use the following procedure to transfer up to five domains to your account. **To transfer domain registration to Route 53 for up to five domains** 1. Open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Registered domains**. 1. On the **Registered domains** page, choose **Multiple domains** from the **Transfer in** dropdown. 1. On the **Transfer multiple domains to your account** page, enter up to five domains you want to transfer, and their authorization code, if required, per line, and choose **Check**. 1. If the domain registration is available for transfer, it is listed in the **Domain availability** list as available. Select the check-box next to each domain for which you want to transfer the registration, verify that you have completed the transfer requirements for top-level domains, and choose **Next**. If the domain registration is not available for transfer, the Route 53 console lists the reasons. Contact your registrar for information about how to resolve the issues that prevent you from transferring the registration. 1. On the **DNS service** page, review the information about name servers, and choose **Next**. **Note** Domain name registrations and renewals are nonrefundable. If you enable automatic domain renewal and you decide that you don't want the domain name after we renew the registration, you can't get a refund for the cost of the renewal. 1. On the **Contact information** page, enter contact information for the domain registrant, admin, and tech contacts. The values that you enter here are applied to all the domains that you're transferring. **Important** We recommend that you specify the following values for the registrant contact (the domain owner): **First and last name**: We recommend that you specify the name that appears on your official ID. For some changes to domain settings, some domain registries require that you provide proof of identity. The name on your ID must match the name of the registrant contact for the domain. **Contact details**: During the domain transfer, we recommend that you specify the same values as are specified with the current registrar. When you change contact details for the registrant contact, you change the domain owner, and some TLD registries don't allow you to change the domain owner during a domain transfer. If you change contact details for the registrant contact, the transfer might fail. You can change contact details for the registrant contact after you transfer the domain. By default, we use the same information for all three contacts. If you want to enter different information for one or more contacts, set the value of **Same as the registrant contact** to off position. **Note** For .it domains, the registrant and admin contacts must be the same. For more information, see [Values that you specify when you register or transfer a domain](domain-register-values-specify.md). 1. For some TLDs, we're required to collect additional information. For these TLDs, enter the applicable values after the **Postal/Zip Code** field. 1. If the value of **Contact Type** is **Person**, choose whether you want to hide your contact information from WHOIS queries. For more information, see [Enabling or disabling privacy protection for contact information for a domain](domain-privacy-protection.md). 1. Choose **Submit**. 1. Review the information you entered, read the terms of service, and select the check box to confirm that you've read the terms of service. 1. Choose **Submit request**. We confirm that the domains are eligible for transfer, and we send an email to the registrant contacts for the domain to request authorization to transfer the domain. 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Domains** and then **Requests**. On this page you can view the status of domain and also if you need to respond to registrant contact verification email. You can also choose to resend the verification email. If you specified an email address for the registrant contact that has never been used to register a domain with Route 53, some TLD registries require you to verify that the address is valid. We send a verification email from one of the following email addresses: + **noreply@registrar.amazon** – for TLDs registered by Amazon Registrar. + **noreply@domainnameverification.net** or **noreply@emailverification.info** – for TLDs registered by our registrar associate, Gandi. To determine who the registrar is for your TLD, see [Finding your registrar](find-your-registrar.md). **Important** The registrant contact must follow the instructions in the email to verify that the email was received, or we must suspend the domain as required by ICANN. When a domain is suspended, it's not accessible on the internet. 1. When you receive the verification email, choose the link in the email that verifies that the email address is valid. If you don't receive the email immediately, check your junk email folder. 1. Return to the **Requests** page. If the status doesn't automatically update to say **email-address is verified**, choose **Refresh status**. 1. When domain transfer is complete, your next step depends on whether you want to use Route 53 or another DNS service as the DNS service for the domain: + **Route 53** – In the hosted zone that Route 53 created when you registered the domain, create records to tell Route 53 how you want to route traffic for the domain and subdomains. For example, when someone enters your domain name in a browser and that query is forwarded to Route 53, do you want Route 53 to respond to the query with the IP address of a web server in your data center or with the name of an ELB load balancer? For more information, see [Working with records](rrsets-working-with.md). **Important** If you create records in a hosted zone other than the one that Route 53 creates automatically, you must update the name servers for the domain to use the name servers for the new hosted zone. + **Another DNS service** – Configure your new domain to route DNS queries to the other DNS service. Perform the procedure [Updating name servers to use another registrar](domain-register-other-dns-service.md). ## Step 6: Click the link in the confirmation and authorization emails Soon after you request the transfer, we might send one or more emails to the registrant contact for the domain: **Email to confirm that the registrant contact is reachable** If you've never registered a domain with Route 53 or transferred a domain to Route 53, we send you an email that asks you to confirm that the email address is valid. We retain this information so we don't have to send this confirmation email again. **Email to get authorization to transfer the domain** For some TLDs, you need to respond to an email to authorize transfer of the domain. **Generic TLDs such as .com, .net, and .org** Authorization isn't required for domains that have a [generic TLD](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar-tld-list.html#registrar-tld-list-generic), such as .com, .net, or .org. **Geographic TLDs such as .co.uk and .jp** For domains that have a [geographic TLD](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar-tld-list.html#registrar-tld-list-geographic), we're required to get your authorization to transfer the domain. If you transfer 10 domains, we have to send you 10 emails, and you have to click the authorization link in each one. The emails all go to the registrant contact for the domain: + If you're the registrant contact for the domain, follow the instructions in the email to authorize the transfer. + If someone else is the registrant contact, ask that person to follow the instructions in the email to authorize the transfer. **Important** If you're transferring a domain that has a geographic TLD, we wait up to five days for the registrant contact to authorize the transfer. If the registrant contact doesn't respond within five days, we cancel the transfer operation and send an email to the registrant contact about the cancellation. **Topics** + [ ### Authorization email for a new owner or email address ](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-authorize-transfer-additional-email) + [ ### Email addresses that authorization emails come from ](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-authorize-transfer-email-addresses) + [ ### Approval from the current registrar ](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-authorize-transfer-registrar-approval) + [ ### What happens next ](#domain-transfer-to-route-53-authorize-transfer-what-next) ### Authorization email for a new owner or email address If you changed the following values, we send you a separate email that asks for your authorization: **Domain owner** If you change the owner of the domain, as described in [What triggers a domain ownership change?](domain-update-contacts.md#domain-update-contacts-who-is-domain-owner), we send email to the registrant contact for the domain. **Email address for the registrant contact (only for some TLDs)** For some TLDs, if you change the email address for the registrant contact, we send an email to the old and the new email address for the registrant contact. Someone at both email addresses must follow the instructions in the email to authorize the change. For changes to the domain owner or the email address for the registrant contact, if we don't receive authorization for the change within 3-15 days, depending on the top-level domain, we must cancel the request as required by ICANN. ### Email addresses that authorization emails come from All email comes from one of the following email addresses. **** | TLDs | Email address that authorization email comes from | | --- | --- | | .com.au and .net.au | no-reply@ispapi.net The email contains a link to http://transfers.ispapi.net. | | .fr | nic@nic.fr, if you're changing the registrant contact for a .fr domain name at the same time that you're transferring the domain. (The email is sent both to the current registrant contact and the new registrant contact.) | | All others | One of the following email addresses: [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-transfer-to-route-53.html) | To determine who the registrar is for your TLD, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). ### Approval from the current registrar If the registrant contact authorizes the transfer, we start to work with your current registrar to transfer your domain. This step might take up to ten days, depending on the TLD for your domain: + [Generic top-level domains](registrar-tld-list-generic.md) – take up to seven days + [Geographic top-level domains](registrar-tld-list-geographic.md) (also known as country code top-level domains) – take up to ten days If your current registrar doesn't reply to our transfer request, which is common among registrars, the transfer happens automatically. If your current registrar rejects the transfer request, we send an email notification to the current registrant contact. The registrant needs to contact the current registrar and resolve the issues with the transfer. ### What happens next When your domain transfer has been approved, we send another email to the registrant contact. For more information about the process, see [Viewing the status of a domain transfer](domain-transfer-to-route-53-status.md). We charge your AWS account for the domain transfer as soon as the transfer is complete. For a list of charges by TLD, see [Amazon Route 53 Pricing for Domain Registration](https://d32ze2gidvkk54.cloudfront.net/Amazon_Route_53_Domain_Registration_Pricing_20140731.pdf). **Note** This is a one-time charge, so the charge doesn't appear in your CloudWatch billing metrics. For more information about CloudWatch metrics, see [Using Amazon CloudWatch metrics](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/working_with_metrics.html) in the *Amazon CloudWatch User Guide*. ## Step 7: Update the domain configuration After the transfer is complete, you can optionally change the following settings: **Transfer lock** To transfer the domain to Route 53, you had to disable the transfer lock. If you want to re-enable the lock to prevent unauthorized transfers, see [Locking a domain to prevent unauthorized transfer to another registrar](domain-lock.md). **Automatic renewal** We configure the transferred domain to automatically renew as the expiration date approaches. For information about how to change this setting, see [Enabling or disabling automatic renewal for a domain](domain-enable-disable-auto-renewal.md). **Extended registration period** By default, Route 53 renews the domain annually. If you want to register the domain for a longer period, see [Extending the registration period for a domain](domain-extend.md). **DNSSEC** For information about configuring DNSSEC for the domain, see [Configuring DNSSEC for a domain](domain-configure-dnssec.md). # Preventing common Route 53 transfer issues If you encounter issues while your domain transfer is in progress, here are the most common problems and how to resolve them: **Note** If your transfer has already failed, see [Transferring my domain to Amazon Route 53 failed](troubleshooting-domain-transfer-failed.md) for post-failure troubleshooting. **You didn't receive the authorization email** If you don't receive the authorization email from Route 53, here are the most common causes and solutions: + **Check your spam folder** - Authorization emails are sometimes filtered by email providers. + **Verify your email address** - Confirm that the registrant email address in your domain's contact information is current and accessible. + **Update your contact information** - If the email address is outdated, update it with your current registrar before starting the transfer. + **Resend the authorization email** - In the Route 53 console, click "Resend authorization email" for the domain in transfer status. **You're getting an "invalid authorization code" error** If you receive an "invalid authorization code" error, try these solutions: + **Double-check the code** - Authorization codes are case-sensitive. Copy and paste the code directly from your registrar's interface to avoid typing errors. + **Check if the code has expired** - Authorization codes can expire between 5-30 days depending on your current registrar. Request a new code if yours has expired. + **Remove extra spaces** - Make sure there are no leading or trailing spaces when you enter the code. + **Get a new authorization code** - If the code continues to fail, request a new authorization code from your current registrar. **Your domain is locked at the current registrar** Domain transfers can fail when your current registrar has a transfer lock enabled (also known as "Domain Lock" or "Client Transfer Prohibited"). This is a common security setting that prevents unauthorized transfers. To resolve this issue: + **Unlock your domain** - Log in to your current registrar's control panel and disable the domain transfer lock. + **Verify the lock is removed** - You can use any public WHOIS lookup tool to confirm that the domain status shows "OK" instead of "clientTransferProhibited." + **Get help from your registrar** - If you don't see an option to unlock your domain, contact your current registrar's support team. They can help you remove the lock. **Your domain isn't eligible for transfer** If your domain transfer is rejected due to eligibility issues, check the following: + **Verify domain age** - Your domain must be at least 60 days old since registration or last transfer. + **Check TLD support** - Confirm that Route 53 supports your domain's top-level domain (TLD). See [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md) for supported TLDs. + **Review domain status** - Domains with certain status codes (such as "pendingTransfer" or "redemptionPeriod") cannot be transferred. + **Check expiration date** - Domains that are expired or within 15 days of expiration may not be transferable. + **Resolve billing issues** - Make sure all outstanding fees with your current registrar are paid. **Your transfer is taking longer than expected** If your transfer seems to be delayed, here's what you should know: + **Normal timeframe** - Most transfers complete within 5-7 days, but can take up to 10 days. + **Monitor transfer status** - Check your transfer progress in the Route 53 console. For more information, see [Viewing the status of a domain transfer](domain-transfer-to-route-53-status.md). + **Respond to emails quickly** - Both registrars may send confirmation emails that require your response to proceed. + **Contact your current registrar** - If the transfer is delayed, contact your current registrar to make sure they're not blocking the transfer. **When to contact AWS Support** Contact AWS Support if you've tried the solutions above and still have issues, or if you encounter: + Transfer failures after multiple attempts with correct information + Billing or payment issues during the transfer process + Technical errors in the Route 53 console that prevent you from starting a transfer + Transfers that remain in "pending" status for more than 10 days When you contact support, include your domain name, transfer request ID (if available), and details about the specific error or issue you're experiencing. # Transferring a domain from Amazon Route 53 to another registrar When you transfer a domain from Amazon Route 53 to another registrar, you get some information from Route 53 and provide it to the new registrar. The new registrar will do the rest. **Important** If you're currently using Route 53 as your DNS service provider and you also want to transfer DNS service to another provider, be aware that the following Route 53 features don't have direct parallels with features provided by other DNS service providers. You'll need to work with the new DNS service provider to determine how to achieve comparable functionality: Alias records. For more information, see [Choosing between alias and non-alias records](resource-record-sets-choosing-alias-non-alias.md). Routing policies other than the simple routing policy. For more information, see [Choosing a routing policy](routing-policy.md). Health checks that are associated with records. For more information, see [Configuring DNS failover](dns-failover-configuring.md). Most domain registrars enforce requirements on transferring a domain to another registrar. The primary purpose of these requirements is to prevent the owners of fraudulent domains from repeatedly transferring the domains to different registrars. Requirements vary, but the following requirements are typical: + You must have registered the domain with the current registrar or transferred registration for the domain to the current registrar at least 14 days ago. + The domain cannot have any of the following domain name status codes: + pendingDelete + pendingTransfer + redemptionPeriod + clientTransferProhibited + serverTransferProhibited For a current list of domain name status codes and an explanation of what each code means, go to the [ICANN website](https://www.icann.org/) and search for **epp status codes**. (Search on the ICANN website; web searches sometimes return an old version of the document.) **Note** If you want to transfer your domain to another domain registrar but the AWS account that the domain is registered with is closed, suspended, or terminated, you can contact AWS Support for help. Domains cannot be transferred within the first 14 days of registration. For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). **Note** If the new registrar requires a REG-ID code, you can contact AWS Support for help. For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). **To transfer a domain from Route 53 to another registrar** 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Registered domains**. 1. Choose the name of the domain that you want to transfer to another registrar. 1. On the *domain name* page, check the value of **Domain name status code**. If it is one of the following values, you can't currently transfer the domain: + pendingDelete + pendingTransfer + redemptionPeriod + clientTransferProhibited + serverTransferProhibited For a current list of domain name status codes and an explanation of what each code means, go to the [ICANN website](https://www.icann.org/) and search for **epp status codes**. (Search on the ICANN website; web searches sometimes return an old version of the document.) If the value of **Domain name status code** is **serverTransferProhibited**, you can contact AWS Support for free to learn what you must do so you can transfer the domain. For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). 1. If the value of **Transfer lock** is **On**, choose **Turn off transfer lock** from the **Actions** dropdown. 1. *All domains except .be, .co.za, .ru, .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, and .org.uk domains* – On the *domain name* page, choose **Transfer to another registrar** from the **Transfer out** dropdown. In the **Transfer to another registrar** dialog box, choose **Copy** to copy the authorization code for the domain transfer. You'll provide this value to your registrar later in this procedure. **Note** For .eu domains, you can also generate the auth code by using the "My.eu" panel at the registry: [https://my.eurid.eu/](https://my.eurid.eu/). *.be, .co.za, .es, .ru, .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, and .org.uk domains* – Do the following: **.be domains** Get the authorization code from the registry for .be domains at [DNS Belgium website](https://www.dnsbelgium.be/en/transfer-code). **.co.za domains** You don't need to get an authorization code to transfer a .co.za domain to another registrar. **.ru domains** Get the authorization code from the registry for .ru domains at [https://www.nic.ru/en/auth/recovery/](https://www.nic.ru/en/auth/recovery/): 1. Choose the option to recover credentials by domain name. 1. Enter your domain name, and choose **Continue**. 1. Follow the on-screen prompts to get access to the RU-CENTER admin page. 1. In the **Manage your account** section, choose **Domain transfer**. 1. Confirm the transfer with REGRU-RU. **.uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, and .org.uk domains** Change the IPS tag to the value for the new registrar: 1. Go to the [Find a Registrar](http://www.nominet.uk/registrar-list/) page on the Nominet website, and find the IPS tag for the new registrar. (Nominet is the registry for .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, and .org.uk domains.) 1. On the **Registered Domains >** *domain name* page, select the **Transfer out**, drop-down, then **Update IPS Tag**, and specify the value that you got in step 6a. 1. Choose **Update**. **Note** You can also update the IPS tag on the Nominet console. For instructions, see [Switch the registrar](https://theukdomain.uk/help-centre/can-i-switch-the-registrar-i-have-my-domain-registered-with/). 1. If you're not currently using Route 53 as the DNS service provider for your domain, skip to step 10. If you are currently using Route 53 as the DNS service provider for the domain, perform the following steps: 1. Choose **Hosted Zones.** 1. Choose the name of the hosted zone for your domain. The domain and the hosted zone have the same name. 1. *If you want to continue using Route 53 as the DNS service provider for the domain:* Get the names of the four name servers that Route 53 assigned to your hosted zone. For more information, see [Getting the name servers for a public hosted zone](GetInfoAboutHostedZone.md). *If you do not want to continue using Route 53 as the DNS service provider for the domain:* Make note of the settings for all of your records except the NS and SOA records. For Route 53–specific features such as alias records, you'll need to work with your new DNS service provider to determine how to achieve comparable functionality. 1. If you're transferring DNS service to another provider, use the methods that are provided by the new DNS service to perform the following tasks: + Create a hosted zone + Create records that reproduce the functionality of your Route 53 records + Get the name servers that the new DNS service assigned to your hosted zone 1. Use the process that is provided by the new registrar to request a transfer of the domain. *All domains except .co.za, .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, and .org.uk domains* – You'll be prompted to enter the authorization code that you got from the Route 53 console in step 6 of this procedure. 1. If you still want to use Route 53 as your DNS service provider, use the process that is provided by the new registrar to specify the names of the Route 53 name servers that you got in step 7. If you want to use another DNS service provider, specify the names of the name servers that the new provider gave you when you created a new hosted zone in step 8. 1. Act on the confirmation email: **All domains except .jp domains** Route 53 sends a confirmation email to the registrant contact for the domain: + Depending on the TLD, the confirmation email includes a link from one of the following domains. Use this link to approve or reject the transfer. + registrar.amazon + approvemove.com + domainnameverification.net + emailverification.info + key-systems.net + If you don't take action, the transfer will proceed automatically on the specified date. **.jp domains** Route 53 sends a confirmation email to the registrant contact for the domain from address *noreply@domainnameverification.net* or *noreply@emailverification.info* with a link to confirm the transfer: + Use this link to approve or reject the transfer. You will need to provide the domain authorization code that you obtained in step 7. + If you don't take action, the transfer will be canceled on the specified date. In addition you might receive an email from WIXI.jp. You can ignore this email. 1. If the registrar that you're transferring the domain to reports that the transfer failed, contact that registrar for more information. When you transfer a domain to another registrar, all status updates go to the new registrar, so Route 53 has no information about why a transfer failed. If the new registrar reports that the transfer failed because the authorization code that you got from Route 53 isn't valid, open a case with AWS Support. (You don't need a support contract, and there's no fee.) For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). **Note** Authorization codes generated by Gandi are valid for about 5 days. If your transfer attempt occurs after this period, it might fail due to an expired code. 1. If you transferred DNS service to another DNS service provider, you can delete the records in the hosted zone and delete the hosted zone after DNS resolvers stop responding to DNS queries with the names of Route 53 name servers. This typically takes two days, the amount of time that DNS resolvers commonly cache the names of name servers for a domain. **Important** If you delete the hosted zone while DNS resolvers are still responding to DNS queries with the names of Route 53 name servers, your domain will become unavailable on the internet. After you delete the hosted zone, Route 53 will stop billing you the monthly charge for a hosted zone. For more information, see the following documentation: + [Deleting records](resource-record-sets-deleting.md) + [Deleting a public hosted zone](DeleteHostedZone.md) + [Route 53 Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/route53/pricing) # Transferring a domain to a different AWS account If you registered a domain using one AWS account and you want to transfer the domain to another AWS account, you can easily transfer it by using the new console, or by using the AWS CLI or other programmatic methods. **Topics** + [ ## Step 1: Transfer a domain to a different AWS account ](#domain-transfer-between-aws-accounts-domain) + [ ## Step 2 (Optional): Migrate a hosted zone to a different AWS account ](#domain-transfer-between-aws-accounts-hosted-zone) ## Step 1: Transfer a domain to a different AWS account Domains cannot be transferred within the first 14 days of registration. When you initiate the domain transfer, you must sign in either by using the root account or by using a user that has been granted IAM permissions in one or more of the following ways: + The user is assigned the **AdministratorAccess** managed policy. + The user is assigned the **AmazonRoute53DomainsFullAccess** managed policy. + The user is assigned the **AmazonRoute53FullAccess** managed policy. + The user is assigned the **PowerUserAccess** managed policy. + The user has permission to perform all the following actions: `TransferDomains`, `DisableDomainTransferLock`, and `RetrieveDomainAuthCode`. If you don't sign in either by using the root account or by using a user that has the required permissions, we can't perform the transfer. This requirement prevents unauthorized users from transferring domains to other AWS accounts. The transfer process has two steps. First the originating account owner starts the transfer: in the [initiate a transfer to another AWS account](#domain-transfer-between-aws-accounts-procedure) procedure, and then the destination account owner accepts the transfer in the [accept a transfer from another AWS account](#domain-transfer-between-aws-accounts-accept-procedure) procedure. **To transfer a domain to a different AWS account** 1. Sign in to AWS by using the AWS account that the domain is currently registered to. 1. Open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Registered domains**. 1. Choose the name of the domain that you want to transfer to another AWS account. 1. Above the **Details** section, in the **Transfer out** dropdown, choose **Transfer to another AWS account**. 1. On the **Transfer to another AWS account** dialog, enter the destination account ID. You can get this ID from the destination AWS account owner. 1. Choose **Confirm**. 1. On the **Generate password** dialog, copy the password, and forward it to the receiving AWS account owner. On the **Requests** page, the **Status** for the domain will display **In progress**, and the **Type** will display **Internal transfer out**. **To accept a domain transfer from a different AWS account** 1. Sign into AWS by using the AWS account that is receiving the domain. 1. Open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Requests**. 1. On the **Requests** page, select the radio button next to the domain name you are transferring from another AWS account. If the domain is ready to be transferred the **Status** is **Action required** and the **Type** is **Internal transfer of domain in**. You have three days to accept the request. If the transfer isn't accepted in three days, the transfer request is cancelled. 1. In the **Action** dropdown, choose **Accept**. You can also choose **Reject** to cancel the transfer process. 1. If you accepted, on the **Transfer domain to your account** page, in the **Password** section, enter the password you received from the originating account owner. Accept the terms and conditions, and choose **Next**. 1. Navigate to the **Requests** page to monitor the transfer status and other steps to complete. 1. After the transfer completes, you can update the contact information. For more information, see [Updating contact information and ownership for a domain](domain-update-contacts.md). **Transfer the domain programmatically** You can also transfer the domain programmatically by using the AWS CLI, one of the AWS SDKs, or the Route 53 API. For more information, see the following documentation: + For an overview of the transfer process and documentation about the API actions that you use to transfer a domain using the Route 53 domain registration API, see [TransferDomainToAnotherAwsAccount](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/API_domains_TransferDomainToAnotherAwsAccount.html) in the *Amazon Route 53 API Reference*. + For documentation about other options for transferring domains programmatically, see "SDKs & Toolkits" in the [Guides and API References](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/#user_guides) section of the "AWS documentation" page. + The receiving account has three days to accept the transfer from the originating account, by using the [transfer-domain-to-another-aws-account](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/route53domains/transfer-domain-to-another-aws-account.html) API. If the transfer isn't accepted in three days, the transfer request is cancelled. **Important** When you transfer a domain to a different AWS account, the hosted zone for the domain isn't transferred. If you also want to transfer the hosted zone, wait until the domain has been transferred, and then see [Step 2 (Optional): Migrate a hosted zone to a different AWS account](#domain-transfer-between-aws-accounts-hosted-zone). ## Step 2 (Optional): Migrate a hosted zone to a different AWS account If you're using Route 53 as the DNS service for the domain, Route 53 doesn't transfer the hosted zone when you transfer a domain to a different AWS account. If domain registration is associated with one account and the corresponding hosted zone is associated with another account, neither domain registration nor DNS functionality is affected. The only effect is that you'll need to sign into the Route 53 console using one account to see the domain, and sign in using the other account to see the hosted zone. If you own the account that you're transferring the domain from and the account that you're transferring the domain to, you can optionally migrate the hosted zone for the domain to a different account, but it's not required. Route 53 will continue to use the records in the existing hosted zone to route traffic for the domain. **Important** If you don't own both the account that you're transferring the domain from and the account that you're transferring the domain to, you must either migrate the existing hosted zone to the AWS account that you're transferring the domain to, or create a new hosted zone in an AWS account that you own. If you don't own the account that created the hosted zone that routes traffic for the domain, you can't control how traffic is routed. To migrate the existing hosted zone to the new account, see [Migrating a hosted zone to a different AWS account](hosted-zones-migrating.md). To create a new hosted zone, see [Making Amazon Route 53 the DNS service for an existing domainMaking Route 53 the DNS service for an existing domain](MigratingDNS.md). This topic is typically used when you're transferring domains from another registrar to Route 53, but the process is the same when you're transferring domains from one AWS account to another. **Important** **White-label name servers:** If your domain uses white-label name servers (custom name server hostnames like ns1.example.com), additional steps are required: **When transferring domain registration:** Update glue records with your new registrar after transfer completion **When migrating hosted zones:** Update glue records with your domain registrar after zone migration, as IP addresses change even though hostnames remain the same For detailed instructions, see [Step 7: Create glue records and change the registrar's name servers](white-label-name-servers.md#white-label-name-servers-create-glue-records). # Viewing the status of a domain transfer After you initiate the transfer of a domain from another domain registrar to Amazon Route 53, you can track the status on the **Requests** page (new console) or the **Pending requests** (old console) page of the Route 53 console. The **Status** column includes a brief description of the current step. The following list includes the text in the console and a more detailed description of each step. **Note** When you submit a transfer request, the initial status is **Domain transfer request submitted**, which indicates that we've received your request. **Determining whether the domain meets transfer requirements (step 1 of 14)** We're confirming that your domain's status is eligible for transfer. You must unlock your domain, and the domain can't have any of the following status codes when you submit the transfer request: + clientTransferProhibited + pendingDelete + pendingTransfer + redemptionPeriod **Geographic TLDs only – verifying WHOIS information (step 2 of 14)** If you're transferring a domain that has a [geographic TLD](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar-tld-list.html#registrar-tld-list-geographic), we sent a WHOIS query for your domain to determine whether you've disabled the privacy protection for the domain. If privacy protection is still enabled with your current registrar, we won't be able to access the information we need to transfer the domain. Authorization isn't required for domains that have a [generic TLD](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar-tld-list.html#registrar-tld-list-generic), such as .com, .net, or .org. **Geographic TLDs only – Sent email to registrant contact to get transfer authorization (step 3 of 14)** If you're transferring a domain that has a [geographic TLD](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar-tld-list.html#registrar-tld-list-geographic), we've sent an email to the registrant contact for the domain. The purpose of the email is confirm that the transfer was requested by an authorized contact of the domain. Authorization isn't required for domains that have a [generic TLD](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar-tld-list.html#registrar-tld-list-generic), such as .com, .net, or .org. **Verifying transfer with current registrar (step 4 of 14)** We've sent a request to the current registrar for the domain to initiate the transfer. **Geographic TLDs only – Awaiting authorization from registrant contact (step 5 of 14)** We sent email to the registrant contact for the domain (see step 3 of 14), and we're waiting for the registrant contact to click a link in the email to authorize the transfer. If you're transferring a domain that has a [geographic TLD](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar-tld-list.html#registrar-tld-list-geographic) and you didn't receive the email for some reason, see [Resending authorization and confirmation emails](domain-click-email-link.md). **Contacted current registrar to request transfer (step 6 of 14)** We're working with the current registrar for the domain to finalize the transfer. **Waiting for the current registrar to complete the transfer (step 7 of 14)** Your current registrar is confirming that your domain meets the requirements for being transferred. This step might take up to ten days, depending on the TLD for your domain: + [Generic top-level domains](registrar-tld-list-generic.md) – take up to seven days + [Geographic top-level domains](registrar-tld-list-geographic.md) (also known as country code top-level domains) – take up to ten days **Note** If you have approved the confirmation email sent from Route 53 when transferring a .JP domain, but it has stopped for several days in STEP 7, contact [AWS Support Center](https://console.aws.amazon.com/support/cases#/create?issueType=customer-service&serviceCode=service-domains&categoryCode=transfers) for assistance. For most registrars, the process is entirely automated and can't be accelerated. Some registrars send you an email that asks you to approve the transfer; if your registrar sends this confirmation email, the transfer process might be much faster than seven to ten days. For information about reasons that a registrar might reject the transfer, see [Transfer requirements for top-level domains](domain-transfer-to-route-53.md#domain-transfer-to-route-53-requirements). **Confirming with the registrant contact that the contact initiated the transfer (step 8 of 14)** Some TLD registries send the registrant contact another email to confirm that the domain transfer was requested by an authorized user. **Synchronizing name servers with the registry (step 9 of 14)** This step occurs only if the name servers that you provided as part of the transfer request are different from the name servers that are listed with the current registrar. We'll try to update your name servers to the new name servers that you provided. **Synchronizing settings with the registry (step 10 of 14)** We're verifying that the transfer has completed successfully, and we're synchronizing your domain-related data with our registrar associate. **Sending updated contact information to the registry (step 11 of 14)** If you changed the ownership of the domain when you requested the transfer, we're trying to make this change. However, most registries don't allow a transfer of ownership as part of the domain transfer process. **Finalizing the transfer to Route 53 (step 12 of 14)** We're confirming that the transfer process was successful. **Finalizing transfer (step 13 of 14)** We're setting up your domain in Route 53. **Transfer Complete (step 14 of 14)** Your transfer has been successfully completed. # How transferring a domain to Amazon Route 53 affects the expiration date for your domain registration When you transfer a domain between registrars, some TLD registries let you keep the same expiration date for your domain, some registries add a year to the expiration date, and some registries change the expiration date to one year after the transfer date. **Note** For most TLDs, you can extend the registration period for a domain by up to ten years after you transfer it to Amazon Route 53. For more information, see [Extending the registration period for a domain](domain-extend.md). ## Generic TLDs When you transfer a domain that has a generic TLD (for example, .com) to Route 53, the new expiration date for the domain is the expiration date with your previous registrar plus one year. ## Geographic TLDs When you transfer a domain that has a geographic TLD (for example, .co.uk) to Route 53, the new expiration date for the domain depends on the TLD. Find your TLD in the following table to determine how transferring your domain affects the expiration date. **** | Continent | Geographic TLDs and the effect of transferring a domain on the expiration date | | --- | --- | | Africa | **.co.za** – The expiration date remains the same. | | Americas | **.cl, .com.ar, .com.br** – The expiration date remains the same. **.ca, .co, .mx, .us** – One year is added to the old expiration date. | | Asia/Oceania | **.com.au, .com.sg, .jp, .net.au, .sg** – The expiration date remains the same. **.co.nz, .in, .net.nz, .org.nz ** – One year is added to the old expiration date. | | Europe | **.ch, .co.uk, .es, .fi, .me.uk, .org.uk, .se** – The expiration date remains the same. **.berlin, .eu, .io, .me, .ruhr, .wien** – One year is added to the old expiration date. **.be, .de, .fr, .it, .nl** – The new expiration date is one year after the date of transfer. | # Resending authorization and confirmation emails For several operations related to domain registration, ICANN requires that we get authorization from the registrant contact for the domain or confirmation that the email address for the registrant contact is valid. To get authorization or confirmation, we send an email that contains a link. You have between 3 and 15 days to click the link, depending on the operation and the top-level domain. After that time, the link stops working. If you don't click the link in the email in the allotted amount of time, ICANN generally requires that we suspend the domain or cancel the operation, depending on what you were trying to do: **Register a domain** We suspend the domain, so that it's not accessible on the internet.

Users are then routed to the IP addresses provided by the attackers in the spoofed response, for example, to fake websites. You can protect your domain from this type of attack, known as DNS spoofing or a man-in-the-middle attack, by configuring Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), a protocol for securing DNS traffic. **Important** Amazon Route 53 supports DNSSEC signing and DNSSEC for domain registration. If you want to configure DNSSEC signing for a domain that's registered with Route 53, see [Configuring DNSSEC signing in Amazon Route 53](dns-configuring-dnssec.md). **Topics** + [ ## Overview of how DNSSEC protects your domain ](#domain-configure-dnssec-how-it-works) + [ ## Prerequisites and maximums for configuring DNSSEC for a domain ](#domain-configure-dnssec-prerequisites) + [ ## Adding public keys for a domain ](#domain-configure-dnssec-adding-keys) + [ ## Deleting public keys for a domain ](#domain-configure-dnssec-deleting-keys) ## Overview of how DNSSEC protects your domain When you configure DNSSEC for your domain, a DNS resolver establishes a chain of trust for responses from intermediate resolvers. The chain of trust begins with the TLD registry for the domain (your domain's parent zone) and ends with the authoritative name servers at your DNS service provider. Not all DNS resolvers support DNSSEC. Only resolvers that support DNSSEC perform any signature or authenticity validation. Here's how you configure DNSSEC for domains registered with Amazon Route 53 to protect your internet hosts from DNS spoofing, simplified for clarity: 1. Use the method provided by your DNS service provider to *sign* the records in your hosted zone with the *private key* in an asymmetric key pair. **Important** Route 53 supports DNSSEC signing and DNSSEC for domain registration. To learn more, see [Configuring DNSSEC signing in Amazon Route 53](dns-configuring-dnssec.md). 1. Provide the *public key* from the key pair to your domain registrar, and specify the algorithm that was used to generate the key pair. The domain registrar forwards the public key and the algorithm to the registry for the top-level domain (TLD). For information about how to perform this step for domains that you registered with Route 53, see [Adding public keys for a domain](#domain-configure-dnssec-adding-keys). After you configure DNSSEC, here's how it protects your domain from DNS spoofing: 1. Submit a DNS query, for example, by browsing to a website or by sending an email message. 1. The request is routed to a DNS resolver. Resolvers are responsible for returning the appropriate value to clients based on the request, for example, the IP address for the host that is running a web server or an email server. 1. If the IP address is cached on the DNS resolver because someone else has already submitted the same DNS query, and the resolver already got the value, the resolver returns the IP address to the client that submitted the request. The client then uses the IP address to access the host. If the IP address isn't cached on the DNS resolver, the resolver sends a request to the parent zone for your domain, at the TLD registry, which returns two values: + The Delegation Signer (DS) record, which is a public key that corresponds with the private key that was used to sign the record. + The IP addresses of the authoritative name servers for your domain. 1. The DNS resolver sends the original request to another DNS resolver. If that resolver doesn't have the IP address, it repeats the process until a resolver sends the request to a name server at your DNS service provider. The name server returns two values: + The record for the domain, such as example.com. Typically this contains the IP address of a host. + The signature for the record, which you created when you configured DNSSEC. 1. The DNS resolver uses the public key that you provided to the domain registrar and the registrar forwarded to the TLD registry to do two things: + Establish a chain of trust. + Verify that the signed response from the DNS service provider is legitimate and hasn't been replaced with a bad response from an attacker. 1. If the response is authentic, the resolver returns the value to the client that submitted the request. If the response can't be verified, the resolver returns an error to the user. If the TLD registry for the domain doesn't have the public key for the domain, the resolver responds to the DNS query by using the response that it got from the DNS service provider. ## Prerequisites and maximums for configuring DNSSEC for a domain To configure DNSSEC for a domain, your domain and DNS service provider must meet the following prerequisites: + The registry for the TLD must support DNSSEC. To determine whether the registry for your TLD supports DNSSEC, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). + The DNS service provider for the domain must support DNSSEC. **Important** Route 53 supports DNSSEC signing and DNSSEC for domain registration. To learn more, see [Configuring DNSSEC signing in Amazon Route 53](dns-configuring-dnssec.md). + You must configure DNSSEC with the DNS service provider for your domain before you add public keys for the domain to Route 53. + The number of public keys that you can add to a domain depends on the TLD for the domain: + **.com and .net domains** – up to thirteen keys + **All other domains** – up to four keys ## Adding public keys for a domain When you're rotating keys or you're enabling DNSSEC for a domain, perform the following procedure after you configure DNSSEC with the DNS service provider for the domain. **To add public keys for a domain** 1. If you haven't already configured DNSSEC with your DNS service provider, use the method provided by your service provider to configure DNSSEC. 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Registered domains**. 1. Choose the name of the domain that you want to add keys for. 1. In the **DNSSEC keys** tab, choose **Add key**. 1. Specify the following values: **Key type** Choose whether you want to upload a key-signing key (KSK) or a zone-signing key (ZSK). **Algorithm** Choose the algorithm that you used to sign the records for the hosted zone. **Public key** Specify the public key from the asymmetric key pair that you used to configure DNSSEC with your DNS service provider. Note the following: + Specify the public key, not the digest. + You must specify the key in base64 format. 1. Choose **Add**. **Note** You can only add one public key at a time. If you need to add more keys, wait until you receive a confirmation email from Route 53. 1. When Route 53 receives a response from the registry, we send an email to the registrant contact for the domain. The email either confirms that the public key has been added to the domain at the registry or explains why the key couldn't be added. ## Deleting public keys for a domain When you're rotating keys or you're disabling DNSSEC for the domain, delete public keys using the following procedure before you disable DNSSEC with your DNS service provider. Note the following: + If you're rotating public keys, we recommend that you wait for up to three days after you add the new public keys to delete the old public keys. + If you're disabling DNSSEC, delete public keys for the domain first. We recommend that you wait for up to three days before you disable DNSSEC with the DNS service for the domain. **Important** If DNSSEC is enabled for the domain and you disable DNSSEC with the DNS service, DNS resolvers that support DNSSEC will return a `SERVFAIL` error to clients, and the clients won't be able to access the endpoints that are associated with the domain. **To delete public keys for a domain** 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Registered domains**. 1. Choose the name of the domain that you want to delete keys from. 1. In the **DNSSEC keys** tab, choose the radio button next to the key you want to delete, and then choose **Delete key**. 1. In the **Delete DNSSEC key** dialog box, enter *delete* in the text box to confirm you want to delete the key, and then choose **Delete**. **Note** You can only delete one public key at a time. If you need to delete more keys, wait until you receive a confirmation email from Amazon Route 53. 1. When Route 53 receives a response from the registry, we send an email to the registrant contact for the domain. The email either confirms that the public key has been deleted from the domain at the registry or explains why the key couldn't be deleted. # Finding your registrar and other information about your domain To view domain information by using the [GetDomainDetail](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/API_domains_GetDomainDetail.html) API, you can use any of the SDKs or AWS CLI. For more information, see [get-domain-detail](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/route53domains/get-domain-detail.html). **To view information about domains with `get-domain-detail` CLI** + Use the following CLI: ``` aws route53domains get-domain-detail \ --region us-east-1 \ --domain-name example.com ``` **Note** This command only runs in us-east-1 AWS Region. All the information about your domain will be listed in the output, including the registrar, registration date, privacy setting, etc. # Viewing information about domains that are registered with Route 53 **Note** Effective January 28, 2025, some domain registries may transition from WHOIS to the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) for domain registration data queries. If you access domain registration information directly from registries via WHOIS, you may need to update your applications to use RDAP endpoints if the relevant registry discontinues WHOIS support. Route 53 domains service functionality remains unchanged. This notice applies only to direct registry WHOIS queries performed outside of Route 53 services. You can view information about domains that were registered using Route 53. This information includes details such as when the domain was originally registered and contact information for the domain owner and for the technical, administrative, and billing contacts. **WHOIS** WHOIS is a free, publicly available directory containing information about domains sponsored by domain registrars and registries. It is provided as both a service that accepts queries on port 43, and as a website, each accessible via both IPv4 and IPv6. WHOIS is a distributed hierarchical lookup. For more information, see [About WHOIS](https://whois.icann.org/en/about-whois). A WHOIS request to different levels of the hierarchy can provide different information: + A request to the root WHOIS (whois.iana.org) provides information about the registry. + A request to registry WHOIS provides information about the registrar, and some public information about the domain. + A request to registrar WHOIS provides all public information about the domain. Because there are multiple levels of WHOIS, including WHOIS lookups operated by the TLD registry and the domain registrar, turning your privacy protection off on the Route 53 console may only turn it off on the registrar-provided WHOIS. Some registries intentionally maintain privacy protection or redaction services for their WHOIS lookup services regardless of whether you have turned it off with Route 53. To get full information about your domain, we recommend that you use the registrar-provided WHOIS. Note the following: **Emailing domain contacts when privacy protection is enabled** If privacy protection is enabled for the domain, contact information for the registrant, technical, and administrative contacts is replaced with contact information for the Amazon Registrar privacy service. For example, if the example.com domain is registered with Amazon Registrar and if privacy protection is enabled, the value of **Registrant Email** in the response to a WHOIS query would be similar to owner1234@example.com.identity-protect.org. To contact one or more domain contacts when privacy protection is enabled, send an email to the corresponding email addresses. We automatically forward your email to the applicable contact. **Reporting abuse** To report any illegal activity or violation of the [Acceptable Use Policy](https://aws.amazon.com/route53/amazon-registrar-policies/#acceptable-use-policy), including inappropriate content, phishing, malware, or spam, send an email to trustandsafety@support.aws.com. **To view information about domains that are registered with Route 53** 1. In a web browser, go to one of the following websites: + **Amazon Registrar WHOIS:** [https://registrar.amazon.com/whois](https://registrar.amazon.com/whois) + **Amazon Registrar RDAP:** [https://registrar.amazon.com/rdap](https://registrar.amazon.com/rdap) + **Gandi WHOIS:** [https://whois.gandi.net](https://whois.gandi.net) 1. Enter the name of the domain that you want to view information about, and choose **Search**. # Deleting a domain name registration For most top-level domains (TLDs), you can delete the registration if you no longer want it. If the registry allows you to delete the registration, perform the procedure in this topic. Note the following: **The registration fee is not refundable** If you delete a domain name registration before the registration is scheduled to expire, AWS does not refund the registration fee. **TLDs that allow you to delete a domain registration** To determine whether you can delete the registration for your domain, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). If the section for your TLD doesn't include a "Deletion of domain registration" subsection, you can delete the domain. Before you delete the domain, make sure you have disabled the domain lock. For more information about disabling the domain lock, see [DisableDomainTransferLock](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/API_domains_DisableDomainTransferLock.html). **What if you can't delete a domain registration?** If the registry for your domain doesn't allow you to delete a domain name registration, you must wait for the domain to expire. To ensure that the domain isn't automatically renewed, disable automatic renewal for the domain. When the **Expires on** date passes, Route 53 automatically deletes the registration for the domain. For information about how to change the automatic renewal setting, see [Enabling or disabling automatic renewal for a domain](domain-enable-disable-auto-renewal.md). **Delay before a domain is deleted and available to register again** Almost all registries prevent anyone from immediately registering a domain that has just expired. The typical delay is one to three months, depending on the TLD. For more information, see the "Deadlines for renewing and restoring domains" section for your TLD in [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). Don't delete a domain and expect to reregister it if you just want to transfer the domain between AWS accounts or transfer the domain to another registrar. See the applicable documentation instead: + [Transferring a domain to a different AWS account](domain-transfer-between-aws-accounts.md) + [Transferring a domain from Amazon Route 53 to another registrar](domain-transfer-from-route-53.md) **To delete a domain name registration** 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Registered domains**. 1. Choose the name of your domain. If you want to delete a .co.uk, .me.uk, .org.uk, or .uk domain, see [To delete .co.uk, .me.uk, .org.uk, and .uk domain name registrations](#domain-delete-uk-procedure). 1. If the registry for your TLD allows deleting a domain name registration, choose **Delete domain**. Some domains may require that we send an email an email to the registrant for the domain to verify that the registrant wants to delete the domain. If you receive an email, it will from one of the following email addresses: + noreply@registrar.amazon – for TLDs registered by Amazon Registrar. + noreply@domainnameverification.net or noreply@emailverification.info – for TLDs registered by our registrar associate, Gandi. To determine who the registrar is for your TLD, see [Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53](registrar-tld-list.md). 1. If you receive the verification email, choose the link in the email, and either approve or reject the request to delete the domain. **Important** The registrant contact must immediately follow the instructions in the email, or we must cancel the deletion request as soon as after one day, as required by ICANN. You'll receive another email when your domain has been deleted. To determine the current status of your request, see [Viewing the status of a domain registration](domain-view-status.md). 1. Delete the records in the hosted zone for the deleted domain, and then delete the hosted zone. After you delete the hosted zone, Route 53 stops billing you the monthly charge for a hosted zone. For more information, see the following documentation: + [Deleting records](resource-record-sets-deleting.md) + [Deleting a public hosted zone](DeleteHostedZone.md) + [Route 53 Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/route53/pricing) 1. If you encounter issues while deleting a domain name registration, you can contact AWS Support for free. For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). **To delete .co.uk, .me.uk, .org.uk, and .uk domain name registrations** If you want to delete a .co.uk, .me.uk, .org.uk, or .uk domain, you create an account with Nominet, the registry for .uk domains. For more information, see "Cancelling your domain name" on the Nominet website, [https://www.nominet.uk/domain-support/](https://www.nominet.uk/domain-support/). **Important** If you delete (cancel) a .uk domain name, it will be deleted within a few days and becomes available for anyone to register. If you just want to transfer the domain, do not delete it. Here's an overview of the process: 1. On the Nominet website, follow the instructions for logging in for the first time. See [https://secure.nominet.org.uk/auth/login.html](https://secure.nominet.org.uk/auth/login.html). Nominet sends you an email with instructions for creating a password. 1. Follow the instructions in the email that you receive from Nominet. 1. Log in to the Nominet website, and follow the instructions for canceling (deleting) a domain name. # Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues AWS provides a Basic support plan, free of charge, for all AWS customers. The plan includes assistance for the following issues related to domain registration: + Transferring domains to or from Amazon Route 53 + Transferring domains between AWS accounts + Increasing quotas on Route 53 entities, such as the number of domains that you can register (See [Quotas](DNSLimitations.md).) + Changing the owner of a domain + Changing contact information for the owner of a domain + Resending confirmation and authorization emails + Renewing domains + Restoring expired domains + Getting information about Route 53 billing + Providing proof of identity for .uk domains + Deleting domains or disabling automatic renewal after you close your AWS account To contact AWS Support about these and other issues related to domain registration, perform the applicable procedure. **Topics** + [ ## Contacting AWS Support when you can sign in to your AWS account ](#domain-contact-support-can-sign-in) + [ ## Contacting AWS Support when you can't sign in to your AWS account ](#domain-contact-support-cannot-sign-in) ## Contacting AWS Support when you can sign in to your AWS account To contact AWS Support when you're able to sign in to your AWS account, perform the following procedure: 1. Using the AWS account that the domain is currently registered to, sign in to the [AWS Support](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/home). **Important** You must sign in by using the root account that the domain is currently registered to. This requirement prevents unauthorized users from hijacking your account. 1. Choose **Account and Billing** 1.

Choose **Submit**. # Downloading a domain billing report If you manage multiple domains and you want to view charges by domain for a specified time period, you can download a domain billing report. This report includes all charges that apply to domain registration, including the following: + Registering a domain + Renewing registration for a domain + Transferring a domain to Amazon Route 53 + Changing the owner of a domain (for some TLDs, this operation is free) Sometimes your billing report can show billing periods into the future. This happens because the domain auto renewal process starts the month before the domain expires. Therefore, for example, in your August report, you might see a billing period that starts the September after and runs until the September of the following year. When you run the report using the console, you can choose the following options: + **Last 12 months**: The report includes charges from one year before you ran the report until the current day. For example, if you run the report on June 3, it includes charges from June 3 the previous year until the current day. + **Individual months in the last year**: The report includes charges for the specified month. If you run the report programmatically, you can get charges for any date range, starting with July 31, 2014. That's the date that Route 53 started to support domain registration. For example, see [view-billing](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/route53domains/view-billing.html) in the *AWS CLI Command Reference*. The billing report is in CSV format, and the contents are described by the [ViewBilling](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/API_domains_ViewBilling.html) API. **To download a domain billing report** 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Registered Domains**. 1. Choose **Domain billing report**. 1. Choose the date range for the report, and then choose **Download domain report**. 1. Follow the prompts to open the report or to save it. 1. If you encounter issues while downloading a domain billing report, you can contact AWS Support for free. For more information, see [Contacting AWS Support about domain registration issues](domain-contact-support.md). # Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53 **Important** The top-level domain restrictions below apply to domain registration only. You can use the Route 53 DNS service with any top-level domain you choose and with any domain registrar. The information on this page pertains only to the domains you can register with Route 53. For more information about Route 53 as a DNS service, see [How internet traffic is routed to your website or web application](welcome-dns-service.md). The following lists of generic and geographic top-level domains show the top-level domains (TLDs) that you can use to register domains with Amazon Route 53. **Registering domains with Route 53** TLD registries have assigned special or premium prices to some domain names. You can't use Route 53 to register a domain that has a special or premium price. The TLDs that you can register with Route 53 are included in the following lists. If the TLD isn't included, you can't register the domain with Route 53. **Transferring domains to Route 53** You can transfer a domain to Route 53 if the TLD is included on the following lists. If the TLD isn't included, you can't transfer the domain to Route 53. For most TLDs, you need to get an authorization code from the current registrar to transfer a domain. To determine whether you need an authorization code, see the "Authorization code required for transfers" section for your TLD. **Pricing for domain registration and transfers** For information about the cost to register domains or transfer them to Route 53, see [Amazon Route 53 Pricing for Domain Registration](https://d32ze2gidvkk54.cloudfront.net/Amazon_Route_53_Domain_Registration_Pricing_20140731.pdf). **Using Route 53 as your DNS service** You can use Route 53 as the DNS service for any domain, even if the TLD for the domain isn't included on the following lists. For more information about Route 53 as a DNS service, see [How internet traffic is routed to your website or web application](welcome-dns-service.md). For information about how to transfer DNS service for your domain to Route 53, see [Making Amazon Route 53 the DNS service for an existing domainMaking Route 53 the DNS service for an existing domain](MigratingDNS.md). **Internationalized domain names** Not all TLDs support internationalized domain names (IDNs), meaning domain names that include characters other than ASCII characters a-z, 0-9, and - (hyphen). The listing for each TLD indicates whether that TLD supports IDNs. For more information about internationalized domain names, see [DNS domain name format](DomainNameFormat.md). **Registering geographic domains with TLDs** The rules for registration of geographic TLDs vary by country. Some countries are unrestricted, meaning that anyone in the world can register, while others have certain restrictions, such as residency. The listing for each geographic TLD indicates any restrictions. ## Index to supported top-level domains **Topics** + [ ### Generic top-level domains ](#registrar-tld-list-index-generic) + [ ###
